The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts, by Maxine Hong Kingston

 

In The Woman Warrior, Kingston highlights her struggle with identity, a struggle to which we can all relate. However, while The Woman Warrior is classified as a memoir, Kingston blends in fictional narratives that parallel her own journey in establishing her own identity between her two conflicting worlds as a Chinese American – the world of her heritage and the world of her birthplace.
