Privileged Women in the Resistance: A Book Launch Discussion on The Saigon Sisters

Please join us for a book launch discussion on with author Patricia Norland and Professor Lien-Hang T. Nguyen.

The Saigon Sisters shares the stories of nine Vietnamese women who as childhood friends studied at a premier French school in Saigon and as adults chose to support Vietnam’s fight for independence.
