This video discusses The Woman Warrior as a postmodern text in which the concepts of identity, individuality, and community are key.
The following video is a lengthy, interesting lecture from an open course at Yale. The instructor uses The Woman Warrior to describe “the overriding tendency of American novels written after 1945 to explore the tension between individual and collective identities and to interrogate the artistic and political stakes of competing notions of authenticity.”[1]
