“So here I was in San Francisco with a degree, and I thought it would make a difference. The first job I applied for was at American Insurance Company. I expected maybe a clerical job, but there were none there—those jobs weren’t open for Oriental people at that time. Then I tried a ladies’ apparel shop as a stock girl. That wasn’t even open to me. Oh, they don’t tell you right out to your face—but you have that feeling.”

― Jeane Westin, Making Do
