On Tuesday, September 5, 2017 at 7:00pm, at Laurel Book Store in
Oakland, this historic reading, “Unbound Feet Collective Reunion:
Chinese American Women Poets,” featured Genny Lim, Kitty Tsui, Nellie
Wong, Canyon Sam and special guest emcee Jade Cho, celebrating the 35th
anniversary reunion of these pioneer poets, who broke ground as members
of the writing collective, Unbound Feet, established in 1981. Their work
challenged the gender stereotypical roles of Asian women in society and
addressed issues of sexual as well as racial oppression, forging a
pathway for Asian American feminists today.
