More than a decade after she was labeled as “Tiger Mom” for her 2011 memoir “The Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother,”
Amy Chua reflects on her strict parenting style as she traces the roots of her culture to Fuzhou, China. Why did Amy feel right about raising her daughters the same way she was raised by her immigrant parents?
What lessons has she learned from her critics in the West? What prompted her to pursue a career in corporate law before teaching law at Yale? And now, what motivated her to write her first novel, “The Golden Gate?”
Amy Chua is a Yale law school professor with expertise in international business transactions, ethnicity and conflict, and globalization. She is the author of five non-fiction titles, including Political Tribes: Group Instinct and Fate of Nation, The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in America,
Amy Chua received her undergraduate and law degrees from Harvard University. While at Harvard, she was executive editor at the Harvard Law Review. She worked as a corporate lawyer at the Wall Street Firm Cleary Gottlieb before teaching law at Yale.
