Impacts

 Lee's pioneering efforts in advocating for Chinese-American women's rights in the early 20th century helped pave the way for greater political participation and representation by Asian-Americans. Today, Asian-American women are more active in politics, with individuals like Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the U.S., and other Asian-American leaders breaking barriers.  Lee's focus on both racial and gender equality laid the groundwork for modern intersectional advocacy. Today, organizations like the Asian American Feminist Collective and movements like #MeToo include Asian-American voices, advocating for the rights and experiences of women of color, continuing the fight Lee championed. As well as the ACLU advocacy organization.  Lee’s own academic and professional achievements inspire greater opportunities for Asian-American women in education and leadership. Today, more Asian-American women are pursuing higher education and leading in diverse fields, from academia to business, reflecting the pathways Lee helped create.
