Mabel Ping-Hua Lee was just 16 when she rode on horseback at the front of a 10,000-person suffrage parade through New York City.
A scholar, advocate, and community leader whose vision of equality extended far beyond the right to vote, Lee fought for women’s education, civic participation, and stronger institutions for New York’s Chinese American community. Her story is a reminder that Asian American history isn’t separate from American history—it is American history.

Born August 24, 1912 in Portland, Oregon, Hazel Ying Lee (李月英) would become the first Chinese American woman to earn a pilot’s license and one of the first two Chinese American women to fly for the U.S. military.

Born August 24, 1912 in Portland, Oregon, Hazel Ying Lee (李月英) would become the first Chinese American woman to earn a pilot’s license and one of the first two Chinese American women to fly for the U.S. military.

Lee fell in love with aviation after attending an air show at the age of 19, leading her to join the Chinese Flying Club of Portland for lessons. In 1932, she earned her pilot's license.

When the United States entered WWII, Lee joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), a civilian organization founded to free up male pilots to fight overseas. She was one of 1,074 women — and one of only two Chinese American women — who completed the rigorous training. Known for being as playful as she was fearless, Lee would write her fellow pilots' nicknames in Chinese characters on the tails of their planes in lipstick.

Lee was one of a small number of pilots assigned to fly fighter planes from manufacturing plants to military bases for eventual delivery overseas. On one such mission in November 1944, confusion at a control tower led Lee's plane to collide with another P-63. The other pilot survived, but Lee died two days later from severe burns.

In 1977, Congress passed Public Law 95-202, which finally granted military status to the WASPs and in 2010, Lee and all of her fellow WASP pilots were honored with the Congressional Gold Medal.
