The absence of women and of gender as a category of analysis in standard histories of East Asia has become more than a simple problem of historiographic omission. Instead, it reinforces cultural stereotypes that a broad education ought to challenge. At worst, it invites students and teachers to think that women in East Asia have been oppressed, silenced, suborned, or marginalized more than they were in Euro-North America.
By using materials in this pamphlet to integrate women and children into historical narratives, teachers humanize and familiarize people and places that students may otherwise be inclined to treat as backward, remote, or exotic. And by showing how gender relations are constructed in historical context, teachers help students to develop a culturally informed understanding of value systems different from their own—enhancing students' ability to communicate respectfully with one another - and to read about other cultures—in their own diverse society and in the global environment they now inhabit.
