THE SWORN SPINSTER Fanny Law

What'sHerName

Whenever Teresa Lim asked about a striking woman she saw in old family photos, she was told 'That's Aunt Fanny; she was unfortunate.' So naturally, Teresa Lim spent years excavating Aunt Fanny's life in 1920s Singapore. It's a story of three devoted sisters, ghost husbands, working-class Chinese feminists, and sworn spinsters.

Turns out, Fanny was very fortunate indeed...until History arrived at her front door.
