Our Lives to Live: Putting a Woman's Face to Change in Singapore explores and documents how women's roles, choices, and voices in Singapore have changed in the last 50 years; how women, from all sectors of society, have helped to shape the Singapore we know today. The 31 chapters, some with a more academic slant, others with a distinctly personal tone, reflect the rich diversity and depth of women's contributions to Singapore's evolution in the last half century, and also point to the problematical areas that still need attention.The perspectives in this book are provided by three generations of women, and they put a human face — the woman's face — to the tremendous changes in Singapore society over the past 50 years. The authors include some of Singapore's most accomplished women in many different fields — Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob, political scientist and diplomat Chan Heng Chee, global women's activist Noeleen Heyzer, sociologist and politician Aline Wong, food ambassador Violet Oon, sports legend Pat Chan, law lecturer and playwright Eleanor Wong, and novelist Meira Chand.

The premise for the book is Karens personal observation of the state of gender inequality which still exists between men and women in Singapore, a country which has achieved the status of a first-world economy. Karen further explores the dire state of gender inequality in Singapore in her book. From her first job with a large electronics conglomerate, Karen witnessed the apparent inequality between men and women in the workplace. From her observation, it seems extremely difficult to break the gender impediment between men and women in the workplace and even at home. Karen notices that most female senior managers have to content with working in more auxiliary departments such as administration, accounting and human resource. As for the strategic positions in procurement, business development, sales, strategic planning and legal departments, most, if not all of these positions are likely to be helmed by male employees. Furthermore, men are expected to excel in their career, but if a woman focuses her time on building her career, her aspirations are viewed negatively by society because traditionalists still believe that women should take care of the household, whilst the men should bring home the bacon. This book, which has been simmering for the past two years, encompasses a series of interviews with strong and successful women who have been able overcome the gender barrier and achieve work-life balance. Karen hopes that Extraordinary Women Singapore will inspire men and women to work together towards achieving greater work-life balance and strive to break the invisible brick wall of gender inequality.

Prof Leong Wai Kum not only demystifies the provisions of the Women’s Charter, she also situates the Charter in Singapore’s political context at the time. The author gives a balanced view of the Charter by highlighting the progressive provisions as well as its shortcomings. Outstanding is her personal view that the Charter provides a moral view of marriage as being “an equal cooperative partnership of different efforts”. She also holds the view that the Charter elevates the status of women as it gives equal importance to women’s unpaid work and men’s paid work. The Charter enshrines and elevates the institution of marriage. At the same time it also gives the reader an impression of the state’s approach to familial relationships. This is a must read book for those who are interested in gender issues. Cheng U Wen Lena Founder Member and 1st President of AWARE The author affirms the primacy of the Women’s Charter as a radically progressive legislation ahead of its time in the ideals that guided the drafters and in regulating family law in Singapore. It provides thoughtful, practical suggestions, invaluable insights, rationalises the provisions of the Charter, comments on its many strengths and some of its shortcomings. Perhaps the most valuable and appealing insight that the author highlights is that the Charter offers a moral message that calls on men and women to treat each other as equal partners, discharge their obligation jointly and generally behave with consideration towards one another. I would encourage all those planning to get married to study The Singapore Women’s Charter: 50 Questions. Constance Singam Writer, Social Activist, Past President of AWARE The Women’s Charter is arguably one of Singapore’s most important pieces of legislation as it fundamentally altered the social fabric of the country. It also has a very real and direct impact on the lives of many Singaporeans today. This book is therefore to be warmly welcomed as it deals with 50 questions that are commonly asked about the Women’s Charter. Written in a clear, succinct and yet scholarly manner by Singapore’s leading family law academic, the book will be helpful to Singaporeans who either need to understand the Charter better or who have an interest in how the law seeks to regulate the institution of marriage in Singapore. Prof Tan Cheng Han Dean of Law Faculty, National University of Singapore This book is a clear and concise guide to how the Women’s Charter protects women and families in Singapore. It looks behind and beyond the word of the law to consider the effect and effectiveness of the statute. Undoubtedly the book is a useful tool for understanding how this legislation helps strengthen and preserve the Singapore family. Laura Hwang President, Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations.
