An anthology of new writings by Asian American women covering "history, memory, sexuality and repression, culture, spiritual, artistic, and generational conflicts. The works of established and respected writers, poets, journalists and scholars such as Chitra Divakaruni, Kimiko Hahn, Helen Zia, Lisa See, Marilyn Chin, Lisa Lowe, Yen Le Espiritu, Mitsuye Yamada, Elaine Kim and Trinh T. Minh-ha are presented alongside the works of emerging voices such as Susan Ito, Anu Gupta, and the precocious sixteen-year-old Filipino American poet Juno Parrenas.
