The Most Famous Woman in China (Book Talk)
Sep 9 at 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Roosevelt House, along with the Hunter College Asian American Studies Program, is proud to present a discussion with renowned television host and businesswoman Yue-Sai Kan about her new autobiography, The Most Famous Woman in China. Joining her in conversation will be former congresswoman and Eleanor Roosevelt Distinguished Leader in Residence at Roosevelt House, Hon. Carolyn Maloney.
This discussion will consider the challenges and successes of Yue-Sai Kan’s career, the importance of cross-cultural understanding, the significance of business and cultural ambassadorship in bridging divides, and the impact we can all have as individuals in an ever-more connected—and yet polarized—world. The Most Famous Woman in China chronicles Kan’s life story—from her arrival in the United States at the age of 16, to her ascent in the business and media world, to becoming “the Oprah of China,” as she is often known today. Delving deep into the heights of her career during a period of profound change for China, Kan details her incredible journey from one world to the next, and how she has worked, over the course of her lifetime, to bring the two together.
