" No Named Woman" - The Woman Warrior

This story touched my heart as well, it made me think about the role we must keep up with as a woman especially depending on what culture you come from. I recognized that in the Asian culture that family is very important. This woman killed herself and her new born child because she knew if she would have left her child alive her family will treat it unfairly. She drowned herself in the well because she committed adultery. She was named the " No Named Woman" because during this story that was being told by a mother to her daughter because her named was not mentioned through out the story. It shows the difference between the roles of women and men in a community, men on the hand would have gotten praised over the same thing she did. That turns my attention to cultures that has those double standards and ever wonder if we can ever get over it.
