Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, 23, is a Harvard graduate, current Yale Law School student, and entrepreneur. She is also one of the two daughters of Amy Chua, who wrote "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," a controversial memoir detailing her tough parenting techniques.

While Chua came under a lot of fire, her oldest daughter told INSIDER that she is grateful for the tough love.
