Per Wikipedia Emily "Mickey" Hahn 1905 -1997 Was An American Journalist And Writer. Considered An Early Feminist And Called "A Forgotten American Literary Treasure" By The New Yorker Magazine She Was The Author Of 54 Books And More Than 200 Articles And Short Stories. Her Novels In The 20Th Century Played A Significant Role In Opening Up Asia And Africa To The West. Her Extensive Travels Throughout Her Life And Her Love Of Animals Influenced Much Of Her Writing. She Was The First Woman To Receive A Degree In Mining Engineering At The University Of Wisconsin-Madison Then After Living In Florence And London In The Mid-1920S She Traveled To The Belgian Congo And Hiked Across Central Africa In The 1930S. In 1935 She Traveled To Shanghai Where She Taught English For Three Years And Became Involved With Prominent Figures Such As The Soong Sisters And The Chinese Poet Shao Xunmei Sinmay Zau. Her Years In Shanghai China From 1935 To The Japanese Invasion Of Hong Kong In 1941 Were The Most Tumultuous Of Her Life. There She Became Involved With Prominent Shanghai Figures Such As The Wealthy Sir Victor Sassoon And Was In The Habit Of Taking Her Pet Gibbon Mr. Mills With Her To Dinner Parties Dressed In A Diaper And A Small Dinner Jacket.Upporting Herself As A Writer For The New Yorker She Lived In An Apartment In Shanghai's Red Light District And Became Romantically Involved With The Chinese Poet And Publisher Shao Xunmei Sinmay Zau. He Gave Her The Entrée That Enabled Her To Write A Biography Of The Famous Soong Sisters One Of Whom Was Married To Sun Yat-Sen And Another To Chiang Kai-Shek. After Moving To Hong Kong She Began An Affair With Charles Boxer The Local Head Of British Army Intelligence. Carola Militia Boxer Was Born In Hong Kong On October 17 1941. When The Japanese Marched Into Hong Kong A Few Weeks Later Boxer Was Imprisoned In A Pow Camp And Hahn Was Brought In For Questioning. "Why" Screamed The Japanese Chief Of Gendarmes "Why . You Have Baby With Major Boxer" "Because I'm A Bad Girl" She Quipped. Fortunately For Her The Japanese Respected Boxer's Record Of Wily Diplomacy. She Was Not Interned Since She Had Stated She Was Legally Married To Shao Xunmei On A Document And Therefore The Japanese Treated Her As In The Words Of Taras Grescoe Of The New Yorker "An Honorary Asian. According To Roger Angell Of The New Yorker Hahn "Was In Truth Something Rare: A Woman Deeply Almost Domestically At Home In The World. Driven By Curiosity And Energy She Went There And Did That And Then Wrote About It Without Fuss." In 1945 She Married Boxer. They Settled In Dorset England At "Conygar"1 The 48-Acre 190000 M2 Estate Boxer Had Inherited And In 1948 Had A Second Daughter. Finding Family Life Too Constraining However In 1950 Hahn Took An Apartment In New York And From Then On Visited Her Husband And Children In England Only Occasionally. She Continued To Write Articles For The New Yorker As Well As Biographies Of Leonardo Da Vinci Aphra Behn James Brooke Fanny Burney Chiang Kai-Shek D. H. Lawrence And Mabel Dodge Luhan. According To Biographer Ken Cuthbertson While Her Books Were Favorably Reviewed "Her Versatility Which Enabled Her To Write Authoritatively On Almost Any Subject Befuddled Her Publishers Who Seemed At A Loss As To How To Promote Or Market An Emily Hahn Book. She Did Not Fit Into Any Of The Usual Categories" Because She "Moved Effortlessly.From Genre To Genre. <br/> <br/> Bobbs-Merrill hardcover
