ors of women's activism in challenging, contesting, and disrupting the social, cultural, and political fabric of their societies. It is important to note that many of these movements, as the sociologist Asef Bayat (2023) observes, are not necessarily "feminist revolutions" or simply revolts of younger generations. Rather, they represent a desire to transform the status quo and reclaim a free and dignified life. Women's rallies and protests in the streets are often triggered by violent police action or met with strong resistance from political authorities. This has led to imprisonment, abuse, and deaths of young women and girls. Despite these challenges, women continue to play a crucial role in shaping political discourse and driving social change (Das, 1990; Roces & Edwards, 2010). Their activism has inspired countless others to join them in their fight for equality and justice.</span><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify" style="margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt">In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the literary representation of women's social and political activism in the context of urban uprisings. This emerging genre of literary studies has opened up exciting new avenues for exploring the experiences of women who have participated in these movements, and for examining the ways in which their stories have been told and interpreted. While sociological studies have long focused on urban uprisings, they have tended to overlook the specific experiences of women within these movements (Derichs & Fennert, 2014; Fernandes, 2014). By contrast, literary studies offer a unique perspective on the role that women have played in shaping and driving these movements forward (Tally Jr, 2017). In particular, there is a need for more attention to be paid to the representation of women's activism in Asian countries. This is an area that has been relatively neglected by scholars, but one that offers rich opportunities for focused case studies and comparative analyses. Some of the key topics that could be explored within this field include the ways in which women have enabled and developed urban uprisings; the topographies of women's social movements across Asia; the underlying causes for women's individual and collective activism; the obstacles and challenges that they face; and the accomplishments that they have achieved in terms of transforming social norms and realizing their rights. Overall, this emerging field promises to shed new light on an important aspect of contemporary social and political history.</span><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify" style="margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt">The book aims to shed light on the diverse forms of women's activism in urban areas throughout the Asian continent. The editors seek to not only comprehend each case as a distinct phenomenon but also to identify commonalities and disparities among them. They are interested in receiving innovative contributions that explore various historical and contemporary examples of urban uprisings in Asia. The editors have three primary objectives. Firstly, they aim to focus on the experiences and representations of women who have encountered, witnessed, or participated in urban uprisings across Asian countries since the latter half of the 20th century. Secondly, they intend to investigate similarities and differences in the experiences, representations, and life stories of successful female campaigners, as well as those who were incarcerated or subjected to physical and mental torture as political activists during or after urban uprisings. Thirdly, they aim to examine how women's active participation affects the success or failure of urban uprisings; their role in intensifying government crackdowns; and their contribution towards bringing about transformative changes in society. </span><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify" style="margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:27pt;text-align:justify;line-height:107%;font-family:Calibri;font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt">The editors welcome chapter proposals that explore topics and concepts related to representations of women’s experiences and participation in urban uprisings in Asian countries. Themes for contributions may include, but are not limited to:     </span><span style="font-family:FddxvsWwhdpjKjkkqfAGaramondPro-;font-size:11.5pt"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin
