Abstract
Woman Warrior is Maxine Hong Kingston’s first famous book. Through her own experiences and fantasies, Kingston demonstrates a frustrated and struggling world of Chinese-Americans. In the alien cultural environment, many can not fit the differentiation and become silent and mad. Still some try to struggle in their own ways, power of discourse help them get the identity and integrate into the culture of American society.
