Historians of Southeast Asia have begun to consider the history of women and gender relatively recently, even though the complementary relationship between men and women has long been cited as a regional characteristic. In the last twenty years or so the field has witnessed some important advances, most notably in the study of the twentieth century but also in the preceding periods as well. Generalizations advanced in the past are now being refined through a number of new case studies. The second half of this essay, surveying recent publications primarily in English, focuses on pre-twentieth century history, identifying the areas where research has been most productive and suggesting lines of inquiry that might be profitable in the future.

“…A more recent wave of scholarship is beginning to explore the role of women in the inner court, and is revealing them to have been well educated, well informed, and influential in their own rights (e.g., Hong 1998, 1999; Loos 2005; 2006; Suwadee 1989). Countering the view of court women as “passive subjects of the Court,” Lysa Hong concludes that “politics and power were ever present in the harem” (1998: 341; 1999: 337, 324).…”

Although much of the history of women's suffrage has focused on the American and British struggles of the early twentieth century, a newer generation of interdisciplinary scholars is exploring its global trajectory. Fundamental to these cross-cultural comparisons is the establishment of an international timeline of women's suffrage; its order at once shapes and is shaped by its historiography. According to the currently dominant chronology, “Female suffrage began with the 1893 legislation in New Zealand” (Ramirez, Soysal, and Shanahan 1997: 738; see also Grimshaw 1987 [1972]: xiv). In this timeline, “Australia was next to act, in 1902” (ibid.). Despite the geographical location of New Zealand and Australia in greater Southeast Asia, the narrative that accompanies this timeline portrays “first world” women as leading the struggle for suffrage and “third world” women as following their example.1As Ramirez, Soysal, and Shanahan write, “A smaller early wave of suffrage extensions between 1900 and 1930 occurred mostly in European states. A second, more dramatic wave occurred after 1930” (ibid.). Similarly, Patricia Grimshaw writes, “It was principally in the English-speaking world, in the United States, in Britain and its colonial dependencies, and in the Scandinavian countries that sustained activity for women's political enfranchisement occurred. Other countries eventually followed suit” (1987: xiv).

“…Although national and transnational discourses about gays and lesbians have had a significant impact on the construction of gendered subjectivities, I explore the continuation of the discourse of innate genders in state and Islamic mythologizing about gender and its relation to tomboi and/or lesbi identities. 19 I discuss the impact of the transnational lesbian and gay movement in Indonesia in Blackwood 1998, 2005(see also Murray 1999Wieringa 1999). On gay men, see Oetomo 1996;Boellstorff 2000. Coinciding with the era of globalization and instantaneous communication in the late twentieth century, the last twenty years of Indonesian history have witnessed the increasing visibility of male and female sexualities and transgendered identities.…”
