Synopsis
The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts is a memoir by Maxine Hong Kingston, published by Vintage Books in 1975. Although there are many scholarly debates surrounding the official genre classification of the book, it can best be described as a work of creative non-fiction. Throughout the five chapters of The Woman Warrior, Kingston blends autobiography with old Chinese folktales.
