Although U.S. political and military efforts in Indochina ended in failure, the civilian aid workers’ record is more complicated. As the documents included in this cluster suggest, women volunteers’ time in Southeast Asia had a profound and often positive effect on their lives as well as those of some people in their host country. Some of these women maintained relationships with people they had met or taught in Vietnam. Some of the programs the American women introduced continued after their departure. Although they have largely been erased from official histories of U.S. involvement in Indochina, women aid workers played an important role and their experiences deserve to be shared.

This essay is a brief summary of the intersection of gender, empire, and women’s movements during the century-long era of Japanese empire. Empire had two divergent manifestations for Japan: that is, Japan as a target of imperialism and Japan as a practitioner of imperialism. In both cases, gender, women’s movements, and transnational feminism were central to the defining of the nation. This essay links the documents represented in the Japan cluster of the Women and Social Movements in Modern Empires database. Some documents were published decades ago and are no longer readily accessible to researchers and students. Others are never-published primary documents. All of them are important contributions to the gendered examination of empire in Japan.
