The 1977 National Women’s Conference is the first and only time that the U.S. federal government authorized funding to create a national women’s agenda. This book focuses on the Asian American and Pacific Islander women who participated in the pre-conference meetings that were held in every state and six territories as well as the national event in Houston. They also subsequently organized their own regional and national Asian Pacific American Women’s Conference in 1980. This work explores how racialized, Indigenous, and immigrant women envisioned pathways to liberation and justice. 

Judy Tzu-Chun Wu, Chancellor’s Professor of History and Asian American Studies at the UC Irvine School of Humanities, pursues research and teaching focused on analyzing intersecting social hierarchies, such as those based on race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship. She is particularly interested in understanding how individuals form identities and navigate/protest social inequalities.
