ABSTRACT
This chapter goes on dealing with Hyolmo women, this time with much narrower focus: practically on just one individual, Dolma. She was in no sense a ‘typical’ Hyolmo woman, but rather exceptional or ‘edgy’ in many respects in the community, in being one of the very few ‘educated’ in her generation of Hyolmo women, in pioneering overseas migration to work, and, not in the least, in her being the only self-proclaimed ‘feminist’ from Hyolmo, to the author's knowledge. What is gendered order of Hyolmo society like in her view? Why and through what life events in her life did she come to call herself a ‘feminist’? Through sharing her life story, an in-depth view on a contour of possible experience of living as a woman in Hyolmo society as well as its possible direction for change are explored.
