The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston
Throughout her childhood, Maxine Hong Kingston listened to her mother's mesmerising 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, 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.
