This book describes the adaptation of American women to
cross-cultural situations in Hong Kong from 1921 to 1969. The
Maryknoll Sisters were first American Catholic community of women
founded for overseas missionary work, and were the first American
sisters in Hong Kong. Maryknollers were independent, outgoing, and
joyful women who were highly educated, and acted in professional
capacities as teachers, social workers and medical personnel. The
assertion of this book is that the mission provided Maryknollers
what they had long desired - equal emplyment opportunities - which
were only later emphasized in the women's liberation movement of
the 1960s.
