Excited
Every so often we get e-mails. Here’s one from Julie, and while I don’t necessarily have a wealth of information on appropriate inspirational materials, maybe some 8Asian readers can help out:
Can you recommend any books, magazines, or websites spotlighting a variety of Asian women that would be appropriate — and interesting, hopefully — for a seven year-old girl?
I’m surprised that I haven’t been able to find better resources on this. My daughter is adopted from Anhui Province, China, and at a stage where she’s really looking for images of this kind.
We’re fortunate to be members of a great group here in Augusta, GA — the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of Augusta (CCBA). The multi-generational group has been so welcoming and great for learning more about her Chinese heritage.

I was searching for the program my Alma Mater ran (ICASP - Illinois Chinese Adopted Sibling Program - old link: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ro/www/TaiwaneseAmerican...) to see if there something similar in the Atlanta area...
No go, but I DID come across this forum: http://forums.adoption.com/china-adoption/
That venue might be able to give some more insight to your question...
And if they do it again, I recommend attending ICASP :D at the very least, your daughter will experience the cornfields of the midwest!
This is a magazine that is specifically for female Chinese adoptees ages 7 and up.
she should totally be watching that ABC Family show - samurai girl

Ni Hao, Kai-lan is targeted to preschoolers (age 3 - 5), not 7 year olds (approx. 2nd grade)
Although general and not focused on women, there's OCDF.org publications:

chinasprout.com has a lot of children's books and DVDs.
Don't know about websites, books or magazines, but there is:
