Nellie Yip Quong House

Nellie Yip Quong was a pioneering figure in Vancouver’s Chinatown, known for her role as an advocate, translator, and midwife within the Chinese Canadian community. A Caucasian woman married to a Chinese herbalist, she defied the social norms of the early 20th century, bridging cultural divides and offering medical and social support to Chinese families who often faced discrimination. Her contributions helped countless women and families in Chinatown, and her legacy is a testament to her compassion, resilience, and dedication to the community.
