“I was born above my father’s Chinese American restaurant in downtown Providence, Rhode Island,[USA] on June 27, 1915. When I cried, the waiters used to say, ‘Leave her on the hillside to die. She’s only a girl.’ Later they told me this as a kind of joke. But for me, even as a child, it was no laughing matter. Early on it gave me an inkling that all is not right with this world” – Grace Lee Bogg’s‘Living for Change: An Autobiography’
