No, the story is not about Joan of Arc. But the main character is also a warrior in every way.
In this Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, she narrates a part of the story of her life that makes her ponder on her intricate cultural identity. Her narrative essay was quite sensitive, given that it was an account of her experience being of Chinese ethnicity. Her probing illustration of the China where she grew up and the China that her parents left was very profound throughout the entire essay.
The beautiful thing about her piece is that she made distinctions between these “two China” without saying it right away. Not all writers can achieve such effect.
