"Judy Yung's contribution to the story of Chinese women in San Francisco took more than a decade of meticulous research and the resulting exhaustive tome was worth the effort.... It is to Yung's credit that she examines this unsavory aspect of Chinese life in the United States unflinchingly and honestly.... Yung's tale describes the strikes, lockouts and blacklistings in the garment industry that inevitably involved Chinese women on both sides of the conflict."
