Women have played a vital role in the course of human civilization, but much of their accomplishments and contributions have been excluded from history. Throughout California’s history, Chinese American women have contributed to the economy of our state. The Chinese Historical Society of America’s new exhibition Towards Equality: California’s Chinese American Women highlights their accomplishments in education, politics, finance, business, and their pivotal role as matriarchs.
Towards Equality: California’s Chinese American Women informs the viewer about the history of Chinese American pioneer women in California, and their effect and impact on the Chinese family, California economy and the community-at-large.
The exhibition is consists of 12 hanging banners available for loan to universities, libraries and community groups and comes with an in-depth educational curriculum guide.
