In the 1960s her artworks received numerous prizes, and she represented Canada in several international print biennials. Her independent spirit led her to define her own notion of artistic success. This book chronicles the life and work of Anna Wong through art historical, socio-cultural and feminist lenses, featuring over seventy artworks from a lifetime of travel and cultural influence: from Vancouver's Chinatown to New York City, and from Quadra Island to Beijing." - dust jacket.
