Chiu's Promoting All-Round Education for Girls presents the institutional history of a long-standing girls' school -Heep Yunn (meaning "united in grace")in Hong Kong across the timespan from the 1880s to 2016. Founded in 1936 through the amalgamation of two Anglican girls' schools, namely, Fairlea (founded by the Female Education Society in 1886) and the Victoria Home and Orphanage (founded by the Church Missionary Society in 1887), Heep Yunn as a Christian school underwent dramatic changes in its curriculum, medium of instruction, and admission through the past century. These changes, Chiu points out, were shaped by the social conditions, economy transitions, and political climate both in Hong Kong and China, as they had bearings on the shifting gender roles. While the focus of the book was on institutional practicesparticularly the policies enacted under different principals, Chiu tied these schooling practices to a few important themes in girls' education in Hong Kong. These included: the shift of girls' schooling as run predominantly by Victorian missionary endeavors to local professional efforts; "the construction of cultural and religious ideals of girlhood through curriculum and activities; language and social mobility in a colonial context; and the transnational ideas of leisure and cultural practices as exhibited through all-round education across distinctive contexts and periods" (p. 11). What is noteworthy is that Chiu examined these themes against the broader landscape of girls' education as it moved through European missionary work in the 19th century to the pre-war modernization process, to the post-war introduction of mass education and the search for an international outlook in the 21st century.To illustrate how the notion of "all-round" education at Heep Yunn took on different meanings across different historical periods, Chiu offered six chronologically structured chapters. Chapter 1 begins with the arrival of the founder of Fairlea -Miss Margaret Johnstoneand ends with the appointment of Mrs. Cheung Chinn Yee Ching (1936Ching ( -1958 as the first Chinese principal and the establishment of Heep Yunn School as a "much-anticipated response to the rising demand for quality Chinese education for girls in Hong Kong" (p. 37). Chapter 2 documents the building of Heep Yunn and the struggles it encountered in merging the distinct cohorts of Fairlea and Victoria Home and Orphanage before the Japanese occupation. Chapter 3 discusses the changes in curriculum, school buildings, and career prospects for girls in the postwar reconstruction period. Chapter 4 traces the expansion of Heep Yunn with regard to facilities, admission, and buildings under the second principal, Mrs. Cheung Lo Pok Hing (1958-1978. Religious education, character training, and the extension of the English stream were among the priorities of the school in this period. Chapter 5 considers the transition of Heep Yunn from a Chinese-medium school to an English-medium school under the third principal, Mrs. Minnie Lai (1978-2002. This change f...
