      @HeerJeet Are you familiar with Winnifred and Edith Eaton, early 20th c Chinese Canadian writers? Fascinating bios and bodies of work.

          @HeerJeet 2. Winnifred wrote under the pen name Onoto Watanna. She wrote bestsellers. She also pretended to be a Japanese noblewoman.

          @HeerJeet 3. She was a contemporary & rival to Belasco. Took advantage of public's inability to tell difference btw Chinese & Japanese.

          @HeerJeet 5. Edith knew the Chinese were racialized negatively compared to the Japanese, who, at the time, were much closer to whiteness.

          @HeerJeet 7. Edith died poor and young, while Winnifred went on to work in Hollywood. Both are fixtures of Asian American literary studies.
