A review by imyourmausoleum
The Soong Sisters by Emily Hahn

informative medium-paced

3.0

 Soong Ai-ling, Soong Ching-ling, and Soong Mei-ling were the daughters of Charlie Soong, a converted Christian missionary. He gave up missionary work due to lack of support and financing and became a successful businessman who printed Bibles. He enrolled his daughters in Methodist schools, providing them with both education and religious indoctrination. Ching-ling and Mei-ling was among the first government-funded female Chinese students to study in the United States. All three sisters married successful men and became very influential in politics and the community. This book was really interesting and detailed many facts about their lives and interests. I had never heard of these women before but found this book on sale and gave it a shot.
