When Mabel (Chu, Cho-Shin) Tow (1914–1999), one of the first Chinese women to practice medicine in China and the United States, shares her story with us, we may experience the tender gravity of kindness (the generative transmission of her lineage). That lineage becomes Tows blend of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Mabel Tow was a boundary-crosser by being a Christian in China and a Chinese woman in America.
In this reflective work, eight authors share their unique author-reader relationships with Strange Kindness as they dramatize further how Tow crossed the boundaries of gender, culture, religion, language, tradition, and medical practices. They vividly illustrate Tows lineage-in-transmission, moving all into tikkum olam, the poetic act of repairing the world.
