The Occidental Mission

During the first hundred years of Chinese immigration--from 1848 to 1943--San Francisco was home to a shockingly extensive underground slave trade in Asian women, who were exploited as prostitutes and indentured servants. In this gripping, necessary book, bestselling author Julia Flynn Siler shines a light on this little-known chapter in our history--and gives us a vivid portrait of the safe house to which enslaved women escaped. The Occidental Mission Home, situated on the edge of Chinatown, served as a gateway to freedom for thousands. Run by a courageous group of female Christian abolitionists, it survived earthquakes, fire, bubonic plague, and violent attacks. We meet Dolly Cameron, who ran the home from 1899 to 1934, and Tien Fuh Wu, who arrived at the house as a young child after her abuse as a household slave drew the attention of authorities. Wu would grow up to become Cameron's translator, deputy director, and steadfast friend. Siler shows how Dolly and her colleagues defied convention and even law--physically rescuing young girls from brothels, snatching them from their smugglers--and how they helped bring the exploiters to justice. Riveting and revelatory, The White Devil's Daughters is a timely, extraordinary account of oppression, resistance, and hope.

BUTTERY SOFT, HIGH QUALITY FEEL
Size: Medium, Color: Slate Grey/White
Quality item!! I would compare these to CRZ YOGA. They do not stretch, not see through, and feel buttery soft. I have only used them working out in a reformer pilates class in which I did not notice the leggings falling or the bra stretching. I would size down on the bra. I am a postpartum mommy and purchased a medium and it fits perfectly. Once I get my core back in shape I can probably size down to the small. The white lining on the bra and leggings I feel bring a flattering look to my waist for those ladies looking that that aspect. They pulled in all the right parts without creating any spill over. It might not be useful for a high impact workout like running or spinning but any weight lifting or Pilates-type classes it would be perfect for! I bought another set I love them so much. I ran them in the washer and hung dry them as I do all my fitness clothing items.

Postpartum mommies! Very flattering!!
Special Size: with Contrast Trim, Size: Medium, Color: Black/White
Quality item!! I would compare these to CRZ YOGA. They do not stretch, not see through, and feel buttery soft. I have only used them working out in a reformer pilates class in which I did not notice the leggings falling or the bra stretching. I would size down on the bra. I am a postpartum mommy and purchased a medium and I am nursing. It still was a little too big for my liking. So I went with a small on this order and it fit perfectly. The white lining on the bra and leggings I feel bring a flattering look to my waist for those ladies looking that that aspect. They pulled in all the right parts without creating any spill over.

Tight band
Special Size: without Contrast Trim, Size: Small, Color: Black
The band is a little tight on my ribs but not uncomfortable enough not to wear it. I would suggest sizing up
