"Living Legacy" is a tribute to those Japanese immigrant women and Japanese American women who conquered the challenges of the 20th century, moving to a new land and integrating the values of the American way and hopes of the American dream, thereby creating a better future for generations that followed. It is a sampling of individual achievements of women who have taught us that opportunities are everywhere, and that it takes vision to realize them, strength to seize them and courage to see them through. Their achievements are shining moments in our past and inspiration for our future.
In commemorating the 50th anniversary of its affiliate, The Japan Women's Society of Honolulu, The Japanese Women's Society Foundation published this book as one of its major projects, and applied arts, engineering and technology, law, medicine and health, politics and pioneer women.
