By the end of the quarter, we had read the end of the book. Over the past 10 weeks, we've seen one good poem after another, and the struggles of Asian women teachers in academia. Their stories show me an unexpected world of academia. That may be the point of the book. Show us facts that are trying to be covered up and tell us that we should stand up and fight. There is no doubt that the book serves its purpose well.
In previous articles, the authors and some co-authors have focused on portrayals of their lives, exposing academic injustices with their own experiences, and inspiring the readers with the help we get from our own resistance or change. In the final article, the author mentions some existing institutions and organizations, such as the anti-bullying policies from California State University, showed us what those who stood up for the rights of the minority had achieved over the years, which gave great hope to those who came after them and also gave more access to information. Moreover, the existing organizations provide the way to those who were newly aware of minority issues to show their power and efforts.
My question is that: what are the areas where Asian American women have more difficulty and need help than women in general?
