Welcome to the Asian Women Blog Carnival.
This carnival is intended to focus on Asian women. The definition of Asian, within the scope of this carnival, includes people from East Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Asia, Southeast Asia, Far East, Middle East, Near East and people of Asian descent living in non-majority Asian countries. The definition of women, within the scope of this carnival, includes trans women and cisgendered women.
When recommending postings for inclusion in the carnival, please feel free to submit your own posts or suggest good posts or links by someone else. You may submit multiple posts. Submissions from from women and men of colour as well as allies are welcome.
The aim is highlight the diversity of Asian women and explore our identities in Asian majority and Asian minority cultures and share our experiences. Submissions can range from feminism, culture, history, work, beauty, health, sexuality, politics, economics, philosophy, class, education, religion, how we identify and relate to other PoC groups, personal stories etc.
All types of work, such as essays, prose, poems, personal narratives are accepted.
Each host has final, absolute, and arbitrary authority with regard to inclusion, exclusion, scope, scale, format and presentation.

Hello, Claire. Please feel free to submit two or more. If there are lots of submissions, I can’t include every single entry in this particular issue so you might want to consider that but for my part, I say, the more the merrier.

Claire, for this first carnival, there aren’t conditions on when they were written, mostly because this first one, I really want it show how varied the dialogue is and how large our community actually is. (I imagine that if the carnival moves forward, hosts will be asking for new posts! And have their own conditions!)
