Excerpt from the Foreword: ...This publication forms parts of the Unesco Supported Series on Women's Studies in Asia and the Pacific. Dr. Amaryllis Torres of the University of the Philippines led a team of Filipina social scientists to develop this anthology of writings on Filipino women. The team has assiduously worked to wade through enormous literature and cull out relevant extracts illuminating different facets of Filipino women. The publication of this material will, it is hoped, facilitate the work of teachers and researchers who are committed to promote Women's Studies in Social Sciences not only in the Philippines but also in other countries of the region, and even beyond. Other countries are being encouraged to participate in the exercise, and future publications will include studies from Japan, Turkey and Pakistan. RUSHAP welcomes such initiatives elsewhere and looks forward to receiving feedback from the community of social scientists who are both producers and users of such publications. -Regional Unit for Social and Human Sciences, UNESCO Principal Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific
