She attended high academy in New York and graduated cum laude from Barnard College in 1949, where she majored in English with an emphasis on British and American muses. During her undergraduate studies at Barnard University, three of Chang’s runes were published in Poetry Magazine, including her work” At The Window”.

Literary work
Chang’s most notorious work is The Borders of Love. Her work has lately been read more in terms of postmodernity and mongrel. Although critical work on Chang has increased since the reissue of Borders, critics have preferred to examine her work with an Asian theme; Her” white” novels have only lately gained attention. At Barnard College, Chang published his lyric Mood in the Poetry of the ultramodern Poetry Association. Di
