Samsui Women Under the Sun is the fifth book in the SINGAPO: Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture series. It tells a story of a young girl's learning experience at the National Museum of Singapore. One day, a teacher took her students on a learning journey to the museum to learn about Singapore's history. Suddenly, one of the little girls saw a middle-aged lady wearing a red headscarf and this made her curious. After an explanation by her teacher, the young girl learnt that the middle-aged lady with a red headscarf was known as a Samsui woman.
