The Woman Warrior.

Since this class, I've noticed that the literary texts we have been reading in regards to Chinese culture, has an underlying tone of feminism. These tales are very uplifting to women in the sense that they do not perpetuate the idea that women aren't capable of doing things that may seem unusual in society. The article portrays the story of a girl, who sets out to find her inner strength or warrior. She had to put aside a lot of things she love to accomplish that. Undoubtedly, this was not a very easy thing to do. She had to learn new ways of adjusting and coping with this new lifestyle. This story was made in reference to Mulan, who is said to be an "icon." Both of these figures challenge the norms within their society and therefore are seen as instrumental in the way gender roles are examined.
