Colonization influenced the perception of Filipina women to ascribe to a Western standard of femininity, a standard that may still contribute to the self-sacrificing behaviors of Filipina American women for the sake of their families, but at the expense of their own mental health.	cache/sjfgss-2427.pdf	txt/sjfgss-2427.txt
