She would remain an exclusive member of Asian American women who are federal judges until a decade later when Kiyo A. Matsumoto was appointed to the federal bench for the Eastern District of New York. Since then, membership of this small group began to grow in number and in diversity. The First Fifteen recounts the experiences of how the first fifteen Asian American women became federal judges, such as Jacqueline Nguyen who fled Vietnam as a child and Pamela Chen, an openly gay Asian woman, and how they succeeded. The women were interviewed by Mollway herself and the book was written by her as well which offers a unique perspective into these women's lives. Mollway discusses their upbringing, their backgrounds, and their attitudes which contributed to their successful navigation through the appointment process"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWomen judges$zUnited States$vBiography 610 $aAsian American Studies, Asian women, federal judges, judge, Japanese Americans, lifetime appointments, lifetime judges, nomination, American justice, judicial system, adversity, American dream, internment camps, World War II, Vietnamese refugees, Indian immigrants, diversity, biography, female judges, gender inequality, workplace inequality, discrimination, discrimination in the workplace, immigrant. 615 0$aWomen judges 676 $a347.732634 700 $aMollway$b Susan Oki$f1950-$01646037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815954703321 996 $aThe First Fifteen$93992841 997 $aUNINA
