Mae Yih

Mae Yih (born May 24, 1928), is a former member of both houses of the legislature of the U.S. state of Oregon. She is the first Chinese American to serve in a state senate in the United States.〔APAICS (Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies) in Washington, D.C.〕
== Early life ==
Yih was born as Chih Feng Dunn on May 24, 1928 in Shanghai, China, to Chun Woo and Fung Wen Feng Dunn. Her family was quite well off, with her father owning two textile mills, a nightclub and a hotel which is now the Peace Hotel, and an automobile dealership. She attended a girls' school, which relocated to a foreign concession during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, finishing her high school education in 1946. Following high school, Yih began her college education at St. John's University in Shanghai.〔(Albany Democrat Herald: Printable Version )〕
In September 1948, Yih transferred to Barnard College in New York City, graduating in 1951 with a bachelor's degree in economics. While at Barnard, the president of the college, Millicent McIntosh, encouraged the students to be involved in decision making.〔 Yih later stated that this served as an inspiration to enter politics. Following the completion of her undergraduate studies, Yih began work on a master's degree in accounting at Columbia University, which she did not complete.〔
On June 7, 1953, Yih married Stephen Yih at the Riverside Church in New York City. Stephen Yih worked for Wah Chang Corporation, which transferred him to Albany, Oregon in 1956.〔(Albany Democrat Herald: Archived Articles )〕 Yih accompanied him on the move.〔 Stephen Yih was the founder of Wah Chang Corporation, Albany and was president for 20 years. He died in March 2009.
