Anna May Wong was an extraordinary screen siren who became Old Hollywood’s most famous Chinese American actress. While celebrated for her culture, identity, and talents today, she encountered numerous hardships for these same aspects during her time in the film industry.

Yunte Huang’s Daughter of the Dragon: Anna May Wong’s Rendezvous with American History showcases the successes and challenges in the life of Wong, noting the issues she faced on and off-screen. This book is especially well-researched in terms of chronologically telling the tale of not only Wong’s life and career but also her impact and influence on history and the film industry.

Additionally, this book is also current enough to delve into Wong’s legacy today and more recent tributes to her life and career.

I strongly recommend this book to fans of Wong and classic Hollywood.
