Pin Ups
Yi Shun Lai
(Author)Description
When Yi Shun Lai was old enough, her mother bought her a subscription to 'Teen magazine, in the hopes that she'd shed her tomboy skin to reveal a polished young lady. But Lai cut out all the wrong articles--girls on BMX bikes, girls on the gridiron, girls on the ski slopes and in the ocean--and these women became her role models. Pin Ups is the story of Lai's quest to join these women in their ranks.

About the Author
Reviews
"An honest, introspective look at the challenges and barriers that women face in building a relationship to the outdoors."
-Ruby McConnell author of A Woman's Guide to the Wild
"Pin Ups is a winsome meditation on what one thoughtful and observant adventurer seeks when she takes the risk of challenging her body in the great outdoors."
--Elena Passarello, author of Animals Strike Curious Poses
"A powerful, moving reflection on race and identity as told through sport. Lai's journey to a hard-won sense of self forces us to consider our own place in the world. We need untraditional stories of women of color more than ever, and Lai's story is original and essential."
-Michael Copperman, author of Teacher
"An extraordinary reflection on the relentless struggle of pursuing belonging in the outdoors. It's a poignant meditation on the entangled, and necessarily messy, interactions of privilege, gender, race, and class that mark the wandering trail of truly finding a sense of community."
- Chris Chalaka, founder, Outdoor Asian
