Photo project highlights Asian female trailblazers missing from classrooms - NBCAsianAmerica InternationalWomensDay
Ho-Kane said that her fascination with Asian female trailblazers began in high school. When she noticed that Asian and Asian-American women were largely missing from her history classes, she went out to learn about them herself.
“If this was readily available online, then I feel like my account wouldn't be necessary,” she said. “We're not at that point yet.”Ho-Kane has received positive responses from across the Asian diaspora. “I have followers from different countries in Asia who tell me it's great to learn about Asian-American women,” she said.
Not all the feedback on her account has been positive. “There are people who think my account is divisive,” she said, “because I'm making these Asian women seem extraordinary and exceptional, and where are the other women?” Though her account has only been active for a few months, Ho-Kane has big dreams for the future of the project.
