The second and last discussion of The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston will take place at the Main Library on Saturday, March 7th at 2:00 p.m. & Saturday, March 14th at 4:00 p.m.
As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: the California to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mother’s “talk stories.” The fierce and wily women warriors of her mother’s tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come.
Get ready for some great conversations, good food and tons of fun!
