«The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts» is the memoir by Maxine Hong Kingston, published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in paperback (209 pages, in English).
The author, daughter of Chinese immigrants, combines personal memories, myths, and family stories from her childhood in California to explore her identity as a Chinese-American woman. The warrior tales told by her mother clash with the real oppression women face, and Kingston fills those gaps with her own narratives.
Originally published in 1976, this 1989 edition is part of the Vintage International series. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award.
Aimed at readers of memoirs and Asian-American literature, as well as those interested in gender studies, mythology, and the immigrant experience.
