Asian American women’s history is a vital yet underrecognized aspect of America's past, often relegated to the shadows of mainstream narratives.As illuminated by the recent Schlesinger Library exhibit, the stories of these women—who have played significant roles in shaping cultural heritage—are frequently described as part of an "invisible history." The exhibition not only showcases individual narratives but also challenges viewers to reconsider women's roles in history, particularly those of Ainu and Visayan women who were exploited as live exhibits at the 1904 World's Fair.
