This book could not have been written if it were not for
the help and support of a few staunch teachers and friends. I would like
to thank all of my teachers at San Jose City College, especially Marty
Kendall, who encouraged me to keep writing, and the Women�s Reentry
Center, who gave me enormous support when I needed it most. I would also
like to thank the many teachers of San Jose State University who
encouraged me to further my education and obtain a graduate degree.
Special thanks to Dr. Lois Helmbold, my advisor, friend, and mentor,
coordinator of Women�s Studies. I would like to thank Dr. Hien Duc Do,
chair of the Social Science Department, and Dr. Wendy Ng of Asian American
Studies. Finally, I would like to send many thanks to my friends, Jay Dee
Barry and Nancy Looney for all their love and support throughout this
project.
