전기 및 작가의 여정

Amy Chua was born in 1962 in Champaign, Illinois, and spent her early life in a demanding immigrant household that sharpened her sense of discipline and, by her own later account, her feeling of being an outsider. When her father, Leon Chua, became a professor at UC Berkeley, the family moved to California; she went on to graduate from El Cerrito High School, then headed east to Harvard College and Harvard Law School. At Harvard Law she served as an executive editor of the Harvard Law Review, then clerked for Chief Judge Patricia M. Wald and practiced international corporate law at Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton. Her shift into academia in 1994, first at Duke and then at Yale in 2001, became the foundation for both her scholarly and literary careers. ((https://www.amychua.com/about?utm_source=openai))
