  Edith Maude Eaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edith Maude Eaton (15 March 1865 - died 7 April 1914) was an author best known under the Chinese pseudonym, "Sui Sin Far", the name (Cantonese pronunciation) of a flower that is popular amongst Chinese people.
Eaton began writing as a young girl; her articles on the Chinese accepted for publication in Montreal's English-language newspapers, the Montreal Star and the Daily Witness.
A study of Eaton and her life, Sui Sin Far/Edith Maude Eaton: A Literary Biography by Annette White-Parks, was published in 1995.

 Edith Maud Eaton (Sui Sin Far) (1865-1914)
Edith Eaton's autobiographical essay and her stories, of which "In the Land of the Free" is an example, show what it was to be a Chinese woman in the white man's world.
In Lae Choo, Eaton gives the reading public a naive, trusting woman whose entire life is devoted to the small child that the law of "this land of the free" manages to keep away from her for nearly one year.
Edith Eaton hoped to effect a change by means of her pen, to be the pioneer in bridging the Occident and the Orient, but the last article she published, less than a year before her death on April 7, 1914, was still a plea for the acceptance of working-class Chinese in America.

 Winnifred Eaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winnifred Eaton was the daughter of English Edward Eaton, a merchant who met her Chinese mother while on a business trip to Shanghai, China.
Nonetheless, the children were raised in an intellectually stimulating environment that saw Winnifred's elder sister, Edith Maude Eaton (1865-1914) become a journalist and an author of stories about the struggles of impoverished Chinese immigrants under the pen name Sui Sin Far.
Her sister Edith had had articles published by a Montreal newspaper and Winnifred was only fourteen years old when one of her stories was accepted for publication by the same Montreal newspaper.

 VG: Artist Biography: Eaton, Edith Maude (Sui-Sin Far)
Edith Maude Eaton, the first writer of Asian descent published in North America, was born in Macclesfield, England, in 1865 to a Chinese mother and an English father.
Eaton's father was a merchant who did trading in China; it was on one of his business trips that he met and fell in love with his future wife.
According to Eaton scholars, Amy Ling and Annette White-Parks, "interracial marriage was taboo in both cultures[; thus,] theirs was an unusual union." At age seven, Eaton and her family left England and immigrated to Hudson City, New York, and in the early 1870s, settled in the Montreal suburb of Hochelaga.

 Dominika Ferens / Edith and Winnifred Eaton
Arguing that Edith as much as Winnifred constructed her persona along with her pen name, Ferens considers the fiction of both Eaton sisters as ethnography.
Edith and Winnifred Eaton suggests that both authors wrote through the filter of contemporary ethnographic discourse on the Far East and also wrote for readers hungry for "authentic" insight into the morals, manners, and mentality of an exotic other.
"This is a new balanced approach to the Eaton sisters that marks a departure from the pattern of viewing Sui Sin Far (Edith Eaton) as the positive and heroic sister while relegating Onoto Watanna (Winnifred Eaton) to the realm of fantasy exoticism and pure invention.

 Sui Sin Far/Edith Maude Eaton: A Literary Biography. - book reviews MELUS - Find Articles
Daughter of a British father and Chinese mother, English-born Edith Maude Eaton (Sui Seen Far/Sui Sin Far) was one of the first Eurasian writers to publish in Canada and the United States.
Considering Eaton's necessarily peripatetic lifestyle and the fact that only a handful of her personal and professional papers have survived, White-Parks does a remarkable job of positioning her subject within the specific communities for and about which she wrote.
Her interviews with Eaton family descendants and discovery of relevant public records and correspondence, not to mention her tracking down of the segment of Sui Sin Far's work that appeared in relatively little known magazines and newspapers, testifies to the care with which White-Parks pursued this literary recovery project.
