  "Bayard de Volo examines both the central roles women played in Cuban Revolution, especially in the urban underground, and the ways Castro manipulated gendered narratives in the war for hearts and minds. In so doing, she revises the official story of the Revolution, which praises young, bearded guerillas, and provides a deeper understanding of the Revolution's success against the dictator, Fulgencio Batista." - Dr. Julia Ogden

  "A revisionist history of footbinding. Resisting simple portrayal of the custom of footbinding as a patriarchal practice that victimized women, Ko invites the readers to the intimate and familial world of footbinding in the inner quarters to try to understand how the women themselves must have regarded the practice. Ko analyzes the multiple layers of cultural imagery that historically exoticized and eroticized the practice in both China and the Western world, and then brings the readers to the materiality of the bound feet themselves, through the beautifully adorned slippers that the women themselves lovingly decorated through embroidery. A thought-provoking read. The author’s affection and admiration for the women with bound feet is very moving." - Professor Sungyun Lim

  "A careful and nuanced history about the Korean “comfort women” mobilized by the Japanese military during the Sino-Japanese War and the Pacific War. Piercing analysis through multiple layers of discourses on wide-ranging political spectrum from Korea, Japan, and the U.S. the author not only challenges the typical and simplistic portrayal of the “comfort women” as victims, but also exposes the violence of such portrayal on the women themselves. In its stead, Soh highlights the structure of patriarchy in the Japanese empire and Korea, that led to the women’s victimization then and continuously after 1945." - Professor Sungyun Lim
• 
  "An engrossing and beautifully written book that is also a major feat of historical research, as the author reconstructs from fragmentary evidence the world of a not-well-behaved woman whose remarkable life took her from the snow country of far northeastern Japan to the metropolis of Edo (now Tokyo) in the early nineteenth century." - Professor Marcia Yonemoto

  "Malintzin was Hernan Cortes's indigenous interpreter, and a central��figure in the success of the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs. By placing Malintzin in her historical context, Townsend not only humanizes the notorious symbol of "La Malinche," but she also dispels that myth that a "handful of adventurers" took down a vast and mighty empire." - Dr. Julia Ogden
