520 "Explores and documents how women's roles, choices, and
voices in Singapore have changed in the last 50 years; how
women, from all sectors of society, have helped to shape
the Singapore we know today. The 31 chapters, some with a
more academic slant, others with a distinctly personal
tone, reflect the rich diversity and depth of women's
contributions to Singapore's evolution in the last half
century, and also point to the problematical areas that
still need attention. The perspectives in this book are
provided by three generations of women, and they put a
human face--the woman's face--to the tremendous changes in
Singapore society over the past 50 years. The authors
include some of Singapore's most accomplished women in
many different fields--Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob,
political scientist and diplomat Chan Heng Chee, global
women's activist Noeleen Heyzer, sociologist and
politician Aline Wong, food ambassador Violet Oon, sports
legend Pat Chan, law lecturer and playwright Eleanor Wong,
and novelist Meira Chand"--|cProvided by publisher
