Asian Women Writers

Asia – what is Asia? Is it meaningful in any other way than a general geographic location?

Asia is made up of so many diverse languages, cultures and peoples. So diverse.

Indians have such a rich culture and history.

Chinese are very different.

Tibetans are yet different.

And then there are those people who are of one nationality, but live in exile. And those of parents from two different countries, or one country but two different cultures.

So who are the Asian Women Writers whose voices are heard and read in their own countries? And who are the ones whose voices have reached out across national boundaries?

Woeser is a Tibetan woman writer, who is 1/4 Chinese.
