Compiled by HAB partner and Burmese scholar Tharaphi Than, this issue of the Independent Journal of Burmese Scholarship (IJBS) is part one of the journal's special volume on feminism. It features seven articles and five poems from contributors identifying as either female or LGBTQ. 

As part of the 'Dawei Collective', they write on topics such as how feminism intersects with Marxism and economics, ethnicity, religion, and democratic & labor union politics, how feminism in Myanmar and the Global South differs from feminism in the West, and how feminists are engaging in the ongoing revolutionary struggle against patriarchal military rule in Myanmar. Their voices are grounded, honest, and uncompromising, and this issue throws into relief how feminists of diverse backgrounds have been affect by, and are affecting, the dynamic and complex societies within Myanmar today.
