ASA 001 Hune, “Doing Gender with a Feminist Gaze: A Historical Reconstruction of Asian America”

I’m studying and need help with a History question to help me learn.

In “Doing Gender with a Feminist Gaze: A Historical Reconstruction of Asian America,” Shirley Hune states that “viewing Asian American women’s lives as gendered reveals how they have actively negotiated and contested traditional hierarchical gender relations and flexed their gender roles to fulfill personal goals and to pursue household and community interests”(427). Explain and define in your own words and historical examples what Hune’s quote specifically means as part of your thesis paragraph and thesis angle for this paper. You can certainly think about Mary Paik Lee’s Quiet Odyssey and what were the specific issues and challenges that Korean American women faced as they fulfilled various roles in their families/household and in the building of ethnic communities in the U.S.?Additionally, research on what were some of the important roles and activities of Korean American women in the transnational movement for national independence and nation building, anti-imperialism/colonialism movements, in the U.S. and /or globally? For example, what information on Asian women’s transnational activities did you find that provides evidence of their specific gendered activities in terms of patriotism, fighting for Independence and nation-building in history?

4.Use transitions. The prompts to each of the topic options are meant to guide you through

brainstorming about the thesis/the central angle that you are going to state in your paper before

you start writing. So, think about how to weave or relate the questions in the prompt to the central

point/thesis you are going to state/construct for building your first paper. Do not just answer one

question after another like a robot. Three external scholarly sources needed besides reading provided in class. All the readings are too large to upload on here but i will provide them
