Portraits of a Challenge: An Illustrated History of the Chinese Canadians

This photograph was collected for the exhibit, “But Women Did Come”: 150 Years of Chinese Women in North America. The exhibit premiered at the Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library in 1987, and brought together two complementary shows, one on Chinese American Women and the other on the history of Chinese women in Canada. The photographs in But Women Did Come document the lives of Chinese women in North America from the pioneer days (beginning in the 1830s) to the 1980s.

Included in this database are photographs from Chinese Canadian family albums and Canadian archival institutions. The online version of the Canadian exhibit is available at: http://www.mhso.ca/ggp/Exhibits/Chinese_Women/.

Chinese communities from across the country joined together to protest the racist depiction of Chinese Canadians in W5's 'Campus Giveaway' segment (1979). The movement galvanized the community and produced a new generation of activists.
