On October 15, 2024, the TCNJ School of Humanities & Social Sciences Dean’s Office, International Studies Program, English Department, World Languages & Culture Department, & the Visiting Writers Collective hosted bestselling author Eve J. Chung for an engaging conversation about her new book, Daughters of Shandong. Ms. Chung’s debut novel, based on her family story, is “a propulsive, extraordinary novel about a mother and her daughters’ harrowing escape to Taiwan as the Communist revolution sweeps through China. Daughters of Shandong is a hopeful, powerful story about the resilience of women in war; the enduring love between mothers, daughters, and sisters; and the sacrifices made to lift up future generations.”
Eve J. Chung is a Taiwanese American lawyer and women’s human rights specialist. She has worked on a range of issues, including torture, sexual violence, contemporary forms of slavery, and discriminatory legislation. Her writing is inspired by social justice movements, and the continued struggle for equality and fundamental freedoms worldwide.
