DESCRIPTION

Life, the title chosen by Harriett Low for her journal, aptly describes the conflicting emotions of the
first American woman to live in China. Making a rude transition from the tranquility of Salem,
Massachusetts into a world of sampans and sedan chairs, women with bound feet and men with
queues, the lively young American records a detailed portrait of her life in Macao from 1829-1834.
The constricted lifestyle of foreign merchants wives, forced by the Chinese to live in Macao while
their husbands traded tea and opium in Canton: balls, operas, and picnics Chinese customs and
Catholic processions true friendship and false romance or religion are all reflected in the pages of
her journal. Throughout nine volumes, Harriett Low displays wit and courage as she
metamorphoses from a socially naive girl into a mature, independent woman. Published for the
first time as a complete edition, Lights and Shadows of a Macao Life chronicles not only the
impact of Western capitalism on a declining Chinese empire but also the importance of money in
affairs of the heart. Forced to reject her fiancébecause he lacked prospects, Harriett Low
survives by immersing herself in the literature and language she loves, as well as a re-examined
Unitarian faith. Independent in outlook, she is an obvious antecedent of a contemporary American
woman.
