While the writing of other ethnic women has already been receiving
considerable attention, the writing of Asian American women has
not. (Un)Doing is the first feminist theoretical work to look at
writing by such contemporary Asian American writers as Amy Tan, Fae
Myenne Ng, R. A. Sasaki, Gish Jen, and Cynthia Kadohata. Viewing
them as feminist and postfeminist writers, Kafka argues that gender
asymmetry in all its varied forms and guises is the major issue
that they confront. Satirizing this world-wide oppression as "the
missionary position," Kafka urges ethnic and women of color
feminist critics to focus more on commonalities rather than view
differences as impenetrable barriers.
