- Abstract / Summary
- The American colonial period had a profound impact on Filipino women’s activism, achievements, and status. Filipinas found increased educational opportunities, access to previously-closed professions, and a greater presence in the public sphere. However, these so-called opportunities were largely accessible only to those belonging to the elite class. Women during the decades of American rule were also caught between the conflicting aims of the American colonial state and the Filipino nationalist movements, which were male-dominated. Filipino women thus had to carefully navigate the socio-political context in order to define and eventually achieve what they were aiming for.
