Unbound Voices: A Documentary History of Chinese Women in San Francisco. By Judy Yung. (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1999. xv + 543 pp. Illustrations, glossary, appendix, notes, index. $55.00, cloth; $19.95, paper.)

     In Unbound Voices: A Documentary History of Chinese Women in San Francisco, Judy Yung writes: "Oral history has been central in my efforts to reclaim my history as a Chinese American woman and integrate that history into our collective memory as a multicultural nation" (p. 511). Born and raised in San Francisco, Yung started her groundbreaking project with a quest to fill in the gaps about Chinese American women's history. The book begins with the life experiences of her mother and then focuses on other Chinese American women, capturing their lives from the Gold Rush Era through World War II. Unbound Voices is a companion to her engaging book Unbound Feet: A History of Chinese Women in San Francisco (Berkeley, 1995) and allows the women's narratives to be heard more completely. . . .
