Trailblazing women: a grandmother and great-aunt
Reading Sasha Su-Ling Welland's book about her remarkable forbears is like unearthing a long-hidden treasure.
In "A Thousand Miles of Dreams: The Journeys of Two Chinese Sisters" (Rowman & Littlefield, 368 pp., $24.95), Welland writes linked accounts of her grandmother, Amy Ling, who became a medical doctor, settling in the American Midwest, and her grandmother's sister, Ling Shuhua, a writer of renown who consorted with England's Bloomsbury set.
The author, a lecturer at the University of Washington, interviewed her grandmother extensively, and pieced together the life of her great aunt (whom she never met) through a trove of collected writings and the works of others.
