520 Unbound Voices brings together the voices of Chinese
American women in a fascinating, intimate collection of
documents--letters, essays, poems, autobiographies,
speeches, testimonials, and oral histories--detailing half
a century of their lives in America. Together, these
sources provide a captivating mosaic of Chinese women's
experiences in their own words, as they tell of making a
home for themselves and their families in San Francisco
from the Gold Rush years through World War II.
520 The personal nature of these documents makes for
compelling reading. We hear the voices of prostitutes and
domestic slavegirls, immigrant wives of merchants,
Christians and pagans, homemakers, and social activists
alike. We read the stories of daughters who confronted
cultural conflicts and racial discrimination; the myriad
ways women coped with the Great Depression; and personal
contributions to the causes of women's emancipation,
Chinese nationalism, workers' rights, and World War II.
The symphony of voices presented here lends immediacy and
authenticity to our understanding of the Chinese American
women's lives.
520 This rich collection of women's stories also serves to
demonstrate collective change over time as well as to
highlight individual struggles for survival and
advancement in both private and public spheres. An
educational tool on researching and reclaiming women's
history, Unbound Voices offers us a valuable lesson on how
one group of women overcame the legacy of bound feet and
bound lives in America. The selections are accompanied by
photographs, with extensive introductions and annotation
by Judy Yung, a noted authority on primary resources
relating to the history of Chinese American women.
