520 |a The existing literature on women’s political activism in Myanmar often locates agency in women to the extent that they are seen as performing and signifying the ideals and norms of Western feminist practices and discourses. Nuanced descriptions of the subjectivity of women activists in Myanmar that articulate aspirations towards social and ethical ideals that lie outside of Western liberal frameworks are easily overlooked. This chapter locates power and agency in women political prisoners in Myanmar by describing the complex ways in which they negotiated their identities and statuses, not only as they emulated the norms of Western feminism, but through artful weaving of indigenous epistemologies, transnational ideologies, their own ethical ideals, and social desires. Women political prisoners utilized the opportunity structures made available to them through the transnational circulation of feminist ideologies and the funding made available to them by international NGOs to satiate their desires to attain awza (influential and charismatic power), while continuing to appeal to the ethical ideal of anitnah (self-sacrifice).
