Description
Edited by MARIA LUISA CAMAGAY
More Pinay Than We Admit 2: The Filipina Emerges from the Margins, edited by the esteemed Maria Luisa T. Camagay, explores the multifaceted roles of Filipino women during the Spanish, American, and contemporary eras of Philippine history. 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 release 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 placed upon them.
About the cover: A rendition of Juan Luna’s La Bulaqueña by an unknown artist (Vibal Foundation). The “serene portrait” of a graceful young woman from Bulacan is reimagined with a selfie stick. Her eyes discreetly avoid the camera, and her slight smile captures a moment of self- expression that reflects the shifting roles of women in the Philippines, balancing tradition and modernity in an age of digital connectivity (Digitally enhanced by Francisco dC. Mendoza).
REVIEWS:
“How has our colonial past shaped the social construction of Filipino identity? More Pinay Than We Admit 2 explores the diverse roles of Filipinas across different colonial periods. The repositioning of Philippine women—from their status in pre-Hispanic society to the changes brought by Spanish and American colonization, and eventually the Japanese occupation and contemporary period—is carefully examined in the essays, each highlighting how these historical shifts have influenced and continue to shape the Filipina identity.” — Joane V. Serrano, PhD, Professor and Dean, Faculty of Management and Development Studies,

“More Pinay Than We Admit 2: The Filipina Emerges from the Margins, edited by Ma. Luisa T. Camagay provides a rich body of information that can guide the younger generation of teachers, students, and members of the academic community to learn about the roles of Filipino women across various areas of community engagement throughout our history.”
