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 document cluster explores the role that white U.S. women played in the Canal Zone, the unincorporated territory of the U.S. surrounding the Canal, from the beginning of construction in 1903 to the late 1930s. The primary sources shed light on women’s part in creating the “imperial borderland” around the Panama Canal, one of the most important overseas possessions of the United States, through their roles as homemakers, nurses, and teachers, and through their women’s organizations. These women shaped the political culture of the Zone by promoting U.S. middle-class domestic ideals. Yet their objectives did not always comply with U.S. political objectives; they also pushed for rights for themselves as workers, women, and widows, making other demands on the state.

This collection of primary sources allows researchers to investigate Western Women in China from 1840-1950, through reviewing the work of international women’s movements and their impact on China. Over this century, we must recognise that through all the reforming interests of both missionary women and international social reformers, China was still orientalised as the “other,” for whom westerners claimed the right to speak. The voices of western women recorded in this selection often constructed the Chinese woman in terms of dominated subjectivity and non-subject status in society. Through a frame of third world difference, through Western eyes, as Mohanty has put it, the Chinese woman was located as always already in tradition, or as tradition itself. By comparison, Western woman occupied the right to speak on behalf of the Chinese woman, as they were freed by their travel and the space they inhabited away from home, yet still they spoke in languages constructed by their own racialised histories.
