Who was Nancy Sheung, and what is this comic about?

Nancy Sheung, born Sheung Wai-chun in Suzhou in 1914, became a pioneering Hong Kong photographer after first building a career in construction. Photography of China, Hundred Heroines, and Lumenvisum describe her late start around 1958, her Rolleiflex practice, bold lines and patterns, attention to women and children, and standing in photographic societies. The New York Times Overlooked profile frames her achievement as portraying Hong Kong women in the 1960s as bold, self-possessed, and unconstrained by traditional expectations. She died in 1979, reportedly of a heart attack in her darkroom. Her worth is a recovered lens: Hong Kong women preserved not as decoration, but as authors of presence.
