HELEN WAN

Helen Wan is the author of The Partner Track, about an Asian American woman navigating the alien corporate culture at a prestigious global law firm. Her novel is frequently taught in universities and law schools and is being translated into several languages. Helen writes primarily about how race, class and culture impact ambition and our pursuit of happiness. Her nonfiction has appeared in the Washington Post, CNN.com, the Daily Beast, and elsewhere.

The Partner Track began as subway scribblings on a legal pad when Helen was a first-year associate at a big New York firm. It is now an original TV series on Netflix.
