Dr. Vicky Lee teaches at the Associate Degree Section of the Hong Kong Baptist University. Her father is Eurasian, and she has many Eurasian relatives on the paternal side of her family.

"'In this original study of Hong Kong Eurasian women memoris, Lee looks at how, collectively, these women's stories cross two world empires, and a social and political matrix that occupied the entire energetic twentieth century. Alert to race, gender, and national issues, Lee views Eurasian identity in Hong Kong as a marginal, situational, unfixed construction in which family and social conditioning play out with contingent circumstances and subjective choices to produce remarkable female lives. A valuable contribution to overlooked yet intriguing personal histories.' - Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Among the White Moon Faces and Joss and Gold"
