A Personal View on The Woman Warrior

Maxine Hong Kingston is a noted American Chinese writer, whose works with their focus on the conflicts between the traditional Chinese culture and the western civilization have won enthusiastic acclaim from both the reading public and critics. Her representative work is the novel entitled The Woman Warrior, whose merits and demerits have been objectively evaluated in the paper. It is pointed out that, although the novel undeniably has its own shortcomings, they can be excused when viewed from the particular historical and personal background.
