The Chinese Lady: Afong Moy in Early America
Davis, Nancy E. (curator emeritus, curator emeritus, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution)
In 1834, a Chinese woman named Afong Moy arrived in America as both a prized guest and an advertisement for a merchant firm--a promotional curiosity with bound feet and a celebrity used to peddle exotic wares from the East. This first biography of Afong Moy explores how she shaped Americans' impressions of China, while living as a stranger in a foreign land.
