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

4.0

This book was the heaviest read I have had the past few weeks. It was not like I didn't know anything about China and its treatment in regards to women, but I didn't think the culture was so present in Chinese-American culture in the U.S. The way her Chinese parents addressed the author and the children were considered "less" for being part American and not so influenced by Chinese culture was heart-breaking and opened my eyes to what may be actually happening in China and Chinese-American neighbourhoods. I totally recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the culture and the perspective of a Chinese-American woman.
