In a little while, we'll move to audience questions, so please write them in the Q&A.

Little did we understand the importance of having Three Asian American Writers Speak Out on Feminism. To even identify as feminists rocked the boat. Yellow women as feminists? Yes, yellow feminists speaking out.

So glad that you are here, Nellie, and Linda.

Remembering the Unbound Feet Three, too!

Thank you so very much Elliott Bay Books, Karen Maeda Allman and Diane Fujino for making this happen! I am so grateful for that conversation.

Wonderful, this. Mitsuye and Diane, both, what a gift, this interview. Beautifully done. Great book - and what subjects. Necessary history to read, know, carry. Hello, Mitsu!

So much respect and gratitude: Thank you!

Thank you, Sis Diane, for such a beautiful labor of love and respect you bring us in Nisei Radicals.

Mitsue is our role model! Wish we could all be together!

Thanks so much to Allie Light and Irving Saraf for making Mitsuye and Nellie Asian American Poets happen. And, of course, to Mitsuye, for her light.

This is Karen Ishizuka.

oh wow, Linda Evans, Sharon Hoshida here. I think of you and your first view of the moon, often. Be well.

Thank you for saying the word: fascism.

Truth telling right here.

Hi Sis Sharon. Thanks for organizing Saturday's vigil.

Yes, yonsei : ) An honor to be here with you all!

Will the recording be shared? I had to join late.

(From Hedi - Mitsuye’s daughter.) Live events can be hard, so Diane and crew so nicely allowed Mitsuye’s participation to be on tape. But Mitsuye is here relaxed and enjoying watching the program … and seeing all of your comments live. Thank you.

.Thank you, Hedi. Love to the Family

Thank you to you both, Hedi!

Military & police r ALL the same policy, the head & tail uv the same coin,…

That broader analysis is right

Hedi, Sending much love and gratitude to Mitsuye from Karen Ishizuka!

Hedi, thanks again for your help with telling the story of your grandfather Jack. If it weren't for Jack Yasutake helping as a translator at the Seattle INS immigration detention station, my father wouldn't be admitted to the us

sending love and admiration to Mitsuye

Thank you!
