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

lighthearted reflective slow-paced

I vibed with this book, but I also didn't LOVE it. I read it because I had already read the chapter "No Name Woman" in school. I found that this was actually one of the most captivating and thoughtful chapters of the book. Like any collection of short stories, certain stories will resonate more with you as a reader, and certain stories will kind of drag on. I liked most of the chapters because of the small details and unique phrasing which Kingston includes. I remember one of the chapters ended with a note on how all of her siblings majored in STEM at college, and this seemingly out-of-place note made me think more deeply about the chapter and the meaning of this detail in the context of the chapter.
