The Woman Warrior

by Maxine Hong Kingston (also rec’d by Gloria Steinem )

Buy on Amazon

I was stunned when I read this book in 1976, and not just because it was the first book I read by an Asian American woman. Hong Kingston wraps family history around myth and discovers the ghosts of woman who have traveled through time into her own life. I felt those ghosts and went looking for mine.
