Abstract
SUMMARY This article explores the ways in which South-Asian womanhood is socially constructed in the context of gendered racism in the U.S. mainstream society and gender-role expectations within the various South-Asian-American communities. These conceptions create a double bind for South-Asian-American women in which cultural loyalty and gender empowerment are placed in diametric opposition to each other. The framework of feminist multicultural counseling competence is used to discuss ways in which therapists can become more self-aware, acquire culture-specific knowledge, and develop culturally congruent interventions that incorporate the impact of gendered cultural dynamics in the lives of South-Asian-American women.
