Connie Chung: A Voice That Changed the News

Many of us remember Connie Chung breaking into our living rooms with grace and authority at a time when few women—let alone Asian American women—sat behind the anchor desk. In Connie: A Memoir, she reflects on that groundbreaking journey, from a childhood shaped by her immigrant family to becoming the first Asian American and only the second woman to co-anchor a major network evening news program. With honesty and humor, Chung shares the hurdles of sexism and cultural expectations, the triumphs of shattering glass ceilings, and deeply personal moments like adopting later in life. Her story is not just about journalism—it’s about resilience and strength, the kind senior women know in their bones, and it reminds us how far we’ve come and how much farther we can still go.
