The group of people who encouraged the Chinese women to organize the activities was the Protestant churches.

| + | I found this particular reading very interesting. In a way I saw a connection between all of the movements that women made into society. Most, if not all, women of all races appear to have been able to push themselves further into the public sphere because of the activities that they became involved in through churches. This appears to be no different in the case of Chinese American women. Judy Yung specifically mentions how they were able to expand their roles in society due to church groups and that being involved allowed them to leave their homes. I find this connection very important in seeing connections between various races. - Elizabeth Frank | ||
