This collection explores the development of Filipino women over time, from how they were perceived and controlled to the ways they resisted and redefined their identities through time. Across 13 select essays, the book examines overlooked historical narratives, from the indigenous priestesses and spiritual leaders who were systematically stripped of authority under colonial rule, to the women who were the silent backbone of the Philippine Revolution, to the advocates for women's suffrage who challenged social constraints and succeeded within a society shaped by an enduring legacy of colonialism, war, and inequality.
Fourteen years after the releases of the first volume, More Pinay than We Admit 2 continues to celebrate Filipino women and how across generations they have continually navigated, resisted, and reshaped themselves within and without the cultural and societal restrictions place upon them.
