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. Complex and beautiful angry and adoring 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. 'A brilliant memoir . . . as fierce as a warrior's voice and as eloquent as any artist's' New York Times 'Enchanting . . . As a manual for self-discovery through the channels and terrors of one's own rejected communal memory it is unbeatable' Guardian
