Dr. Margaret Chung (1889-1959), the first American-born Chinese woman physician, was a pioneer in the professional, political, and personal realms. Graduating from the University of Southern California's College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1916, she established one of the first western medical clinics in San Francisco Chinatown in the early 1920s. During the 1930s and 1940s, she gained national attention for her support of the Chinese and American war efforts. Electing to remain single, despite the social pressure for Chinese American women to marry, Chung nevertheless adopted a maternal persona, developing a large fictive kin network as an expression of her patriotism. Her surrogate family, composed primarily of white male military personnel, politicians, and entertainers, served as a political resource. She used these contacts to recruit pilots for the Flying Tigers and to lobby for the creation of the WAVES, the Women's Naval Reserve. Because of the racial background of the "sons" and her status as an unmarried woman, her children called themselves "Mom Chung's Fair-Haired Bastards."

520 $a This thematic biography examines Chung's professional, political, and personal identities for insight into the transformation of American gender and racial boundaries from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries. During her lifetime, American social norms shifted from Victorian notions of separate spheres and racial segregation to modern ideas of gender and racial integration. Chung's success in negotiating opportunities and obstacles stemmed from her ability to reconcile symbolically contradictory social roles. While attempting to transcend gender boundaries as a single, professional woman, she also embraced a traditional female maternal identity as a form of empowerment. Committed to the Chinese American community and to China, she nevertheless socialized and identified primarily with white Americans. Her ability to merge multiple identities allowed her to bridge the gender norms of two different eras and the racial divide between Chinese and white Americans.
