Explores some of the ways that the lives of women in the Asia-Pacific region are shaped by two powerful regimes - 'religion' and 'law' - and by the interactions between them. This book shows that for women, laws - customary, colonial, post-independence and international - and religions - indigenous or introduced - have been a 'mixed blessing'.
