White Tiger
In Maxine Kingston’s Woman Warrior, the chapter “White Tiger” tells the story of a fictional woman warrior named, Fa Mu Lan. Kingston portrays her own depiction of the character through narration. In the story, she compares her modern-day self with the fictional swordswoman and affirms that they relate significantly. As the swordswoman effects the world through her sword, Kingston impacts her world as a female through the narrations of her words. In comparison of the legend of Fa Mu Lan as a swordsman, Kingston identifies as a wordswoman. This is significant to women writers because it illustrates the depths females internalize in a society dominated by males. In the story, Fa Mu Lan juggles several profound responsibilities such in society – specifically a mother, wife, and daughter. Consequently, this chapter epitomizes the massively potential strengths of females.
