Helen Zia was born in New Jersey to first-generation immigrants from Shanghai. Although Zia was born in New Jersey and liked "normal" American things she still faced prejudices due to her perceived foreignness. During her teenage years, Zia identified with the Civil Rights movement which, in combination with her own life experiences, fueled her activism in civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and women's rights. Helen Zia's latest book 'Last Boat out of Shanghai' tracks the lives of migrants and refugees fleeing the cultural revolution in China. The book connects to the stories and experiences many migrants around the world are facing presently.

FUN FACT: In 2008 Helen and her partner were one of the first legally married same-sex couples in the state of California.
