One of the most-if not the most-remarkable trademarks of Burma/Myanmar’s Spring Revolution against the 2021 coup d’etat in Myanmar has been the manifestation of extraordinary courage, commitment, and conviction of Burmese women bravely fighting against the military dictatorship. In their own voices, these unsung heroes reveal how they have transformed their struggles and sacrifices into strengths and successes, empowering them to fight and prevail, as failure is not an option for them as women resisting an oppressive patriarchal culture. Invisible yet Invincible: Narratives of Women Fighting Dictatorship in Burma/Myanmar chronicles the lives of the unsung women warriors of the Spring Revolution. Their remarkable forms of resilience stem from their own challenges in life amid militarized political and cultural oppression.
