Wikipedia

 
Jade Snow Wong (黃玉雪, pinyin: Hu?ng Y?xuě) was born in 1922 in San Francisco. Living in a traditional Chinese family, she adopted the many customs of her family. Thanks to her family's heavy emphasis on education and her own desire to learn, Wong went on to graduate from Mills College in 1942. Afterwards, she worked as a secretary during World War II and began to study ceramics after the War. She discovered a talent at the art, and began to sell her works in a shop in Chinatown. Her pottery soon became very popular, and she also began to realize her talent in literature. In 1950, she published her first book, Fifth Chinese Daughter. Her next book, No Chinese Stranger, was published in 1975. Her pottery work was later put on display in many art museums nation-wide. Today, Jade Snow runs a travel service on Polk Street in San Fransisco.
