This volume brings together the voices of Chinese American women in a collection of documents detailing half a century of their lives in America. It provides a mosaic of Chinese women's experiences in their own words, as they tell of making homes from the Gold Rush through World War II.

Starting with the crippling custom of footbinding, this work presents a study of Chinese American women during the first half of the twentieth century. Using this symbol of subjugation to examine social change in the lives of these women, it shows the stages of 'unbinding' that occurred between the turn of the century and the end of World War II.
