"The White Devil's Daughters: The Women Who Fought Slavery in San Francisco's Chinatown."

During the first hundred years of Chinese immigration--from 1848 to 1943--San Francisco was home to a shockingly extensive underground slave trade in Asian women, who were exploited as prostitutes and indentured servants. Julia examines this little-known chapter in our history--and gives us a vivid portrait of the safe house to which enslaved women escaped.  Accompanied by historical photos from the book, she'll explore the Marin settings and people in her nonfiction book.
