5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and Passionate, July 18, 2006
This review is from: From the Promised Land to Home: Trajectories of Selfhood in Asian-American Women's Autobiography (Woman in History, 83) (Paperback)
This in-depth discussion of Asian women's autobiographies fills a huge void in our understanding of this neglected subject. Written with great passion and insight. It is certainly to be hoped that this author will publish more volumes continuing this important project. An absolutely first-rate and essential study!
