Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Sui Sin Far (1865-1914) could have "passed," as did her brothers and sisters, but set out to be the voice of Chinese American women and children in Canada and the United States. She wrote short stories for magazines, newspaper articles and one book-length collection of stories, Mrs. Spring Fragrance. Facing severe odds of poverty, poor health, and discrimination as a woman and as a Chinese (from both whites and Chinese), she persevered in writing poignant, often melodramatic tales that show the humanity of the Chinese people, such as "A Chinese Ishmael," "A Chinese Tom-Boy," and "A Love Story from the Rice Fields of China." Her news articles include "Chinatown Boys and Girls," and "The Chinese in America." White-Parks (editor, Gathering of Voices on the Asian American Experience, Highsmith Pr., 1994) retrieves a lost, important voice. Recommended for strong Asian collections.?Kitty Chen Dean, Nassau Coll., Garden City, N.Y.
