Maxine Hong Kingston
-
Maxine feels alienated
-
from Chinese culture because of the misogyny she perceives
-
in that culture, but she also turns to Chinese
-
culture as a way to identify herself and to give her a positive
-
self-image, as in that story of the woman warrior,
-
which I actually didn't ask you to read,
-
but there are other examples in the stories that I did ask you to read,
-
chapters that I did ask you to read,
-
to give her that sense of grounding as a person.
-
Other examples.

How about in The Bluest Eye? Yes.
