十九世纪中叶的中国,政局不稳,战火连绵,灾荒、贫困、危难、厄运不绝于人间。当美国西部发现金矿的消息传到中国东南沿海时,便有不少华人离乡背井,远涉重洋,到人地生疏的美国,用自己的血泪和汗水,开始书写一部华侨在美国的辛酸历史。而华裔妇女在美国社会中地位的变迁,又有其独特的历史,既不同于美国妇女的状况,也有异于其他移民妇女的状况。

In the mid-nineteenth century, political instability, continuous war, famine, poverty, distress and bad luck were all over the world. When the news of the discovery of gold in the western United States spread to the southeast coast of China, many Chinese have left their homes and gone far beyond the ocean to the unfamiliar United States. Starting from their blood, tears and sweat, they began to write about the bitter history of overseas Chinese in the United States. The change of Chinese women’s status in American society has its own unique history, which is different from the situation of American women and the situation of other immigrant women.
