{"product_id":"woman-warrior-picador-classics","title":"Woman Warrior (Picador Classics)","description":"With an introduction by Xiaolu Guo\n\nA classic memoir set during the Chinese revolution of the 1940s and inspired by folklore, providing a unique insight into the life of an immigrant in America.\n\nWhen we Chinese girls listened to the adults talking-story, we learned that we failed if we grew up to be but wives or slaves. We could be heroines, swordswomen.\n\nThroughout her childhood, Maxine Hong Kingston listened to her mother''s mesmerizing 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.\n\nComplex and beautiful, angry and adoring, Maxine Hong Kingston''s 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1447275225\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1447275225.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hong Kingston, Maxine|Guo, Xiaolu\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
