Stunning & Poignant

I read this book for a Feminist Criticism course and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Kingston's skill of storytelling truly brings you into the story.

A book you can fall in love with

An Excellent Tale of Chinese-American Life in the 1940's

When I read The Woman Warrior, I was amazed by the quality of the detail with which Maxine Hong Kingston describes life in San Francisco's China Town during the 1940's. As she tells the story of her life, she simultaneously integrates old myths into her story. The story is truly moving. It is very easy to read, and gives the reader a flavor of Chinese culture. Definately one of the better books that I read last year.
