Amy Tan- 1952- born in the U.S. to immigrant parents from China, Amy Tan rejected her mother’s expectations that she become a doctor and concert pianist. She chose to write fiction instead. Her iconic novel, The Joy Luck Club, paved the way for many following authors of Asian descent. Her novels are The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter, Saving Fish from Drowning, and The Valley of Amazement, all New York Times bestsellers. Her works have been translated into 35 different languages. Tan served as co-producer and co-screenwriter on the film adaptation of The Joy Luck Club. Amy Tan has served as lead rhythm “dominatrix,” backup singer, and second tambourine with the literary garage band, the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose members included Stephen King, Dave Barry, and Scott Turow. Their yearly gigs raised over a million dollars for literacy programs. - From the Steven Barcaly Agency Biography

This brought her international attention as a feminist leader. Ms. Steinem is also one of the founding members of the National Women's Political Caucus.
