With an introduction by Xiaolu Guo A classic memoir set during the
Chinese revolution of the 1940s and inspired by folklore, providing
a unique insight into the life of an immigrant in America. When we
Chinese girls listened to the adults talking-story, we learned that
we failed if we grew up to be but wives or slaves. We could be
heroines, swordswomen. Throughout her childhood, Maxine Hong
Kingston listened to her mother's mesmerizing tales of a China
where girls are worthless, tradition is exalted and only a strong,
wily woman can scratch her way upwards. Growing up in a changing
America, surrounded by Chinese myth and memory, this is her story
of two cultures and one trenchant, lyrical journey into womanhood.
Complex and beautiful, angry and adoring, Maxine Hong Kingston's
The Woman Warrior is a seminal piece of writing about emigration
and identity. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1976
and is widely hailed as a feminist classic.
