Beschreibung

<p><i>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.</i><br><br>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.<br><br>Complex and beautiful, angry and adoring, <i>The Woman Warrior</i> 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.<br><br>'A brilliant memoir . . . as fierce as a warrior's voice, and as eloquent as any artist's'<br><i>New York Times</i><br><br>'Enchanting . . . As a manual for self-discovery through the channels and terrors of one's own rejected communal memory, it is unbeatable' <br><i>Guardian</i></p>
