Boundaries by Maya Lin
Maya Lin writes about what followed after her sculpture was chosen for the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington when she was a Yale undergraduate in 1982. Caught up in controversy about her Asian heritage, her youth, and her gender, Lin was forced to defend herself to the government, veterans' organizations, and the press. She also writes about her early life, her creative sources, and her subsequent projects.
