Few women in China were to prove so important to the rise of Chinese nationalism and liberation from tradition as the extraordinary Soong Sisters: Soong Ching-ling (wife of Sun Yat-sen, statesman, physician, and political philosopher who served as the first provisional president of the Republic of China and the first leader of the Kuomintang); Soong Ai-ling (wife of H. H. Kung, who was the richest man in the early 20th century Republic of China); and Soong Mei-ling (Madame Chiang Kai-shek, wife of President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China). This biography is also China's story through both world wars and the chronicle of the changes to Shanghai as they relate to a family that had the courage to speak out against the ruling regime. Greatly influencing the history of modern China, they interacted with their government and military to protect the lives of those who could not be heard. First published in 1942.
