"Empowerment Through Mythological Imaginings in Woman Warrior" by Sue Ann Johnston

What i found interesting about this text is that it talked a lot about  female and their role in china and in America. Females are looked down on in china but that wasn't just in china it also happens in other countries as well.Women were at the lower levels in society and are equivalent to slaves.In Chinese traditions, woman roles are to only be married and treated like property, they may not have a say in anythings. Johnston says Kingston piece is fiction because Kingston mentioned a story she was once told by her mother about  fa mu lan. She is not just taking the role of the male warrior because she is a female avenger. As a women she has both the ability to give birth and the ability to take away someone's life.
