Compiled by HAB partner and Burmese scholar Tharaphi Than, this issue of the Independent Journal of Burmese Scholarship (IJBS) is part two 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 about urgent topics like the construction and connection of ethnicity and gender, fighting in a People's Defense Force as a woman, how mainstream gender activism failed Myanmar, emotional labor, revolution and the politics of gender, and the complexities of 'coming out'as LGBTQ in Burmese society. Their voices are grounded, honest, and uncompromising, and like part one of this special volume, this issue throws into relief how feminists of diverse backgrounds have been affected by, and are affecting, the dynamic and complex societies within Myanmar today.
