Esther Eng (September 24, 1914 – January 25, 1970), born Ng Kam-ha, was a Cantonese–American film director and the first female director to direct Chinese-language films in the United States. Eng made four feature films in America, and five in Hong Kong. She was recognized as a female pioneer who crossed the boundaries of race, language, culture and gender. Eng was openly lesbian. Her sexual orientation did not affect her career negatively partly because homosexuality was an accepted part of the Cantonese opera, which she was associated with. -Wikipedia (artwork by @elijah.haswell) #PeopleOfPride #EstherEng #octoberislgbthistorymonth #lgbthistorymonth #historymonth #EliHaswell #loveislove #lgbt #lgbtq #rainbow #gay #lesbian #transgender #bisexual #pansexual #asexual #genderqueer #male #female #love #acceptance #diversity #lovewhoyouwant #youareamazing #youarebeautiful #hernandopride #hernandoflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Th_FzF03f/?igshid=f1sw9nhfv90r
