Introduction

Chronology
12
Chapter
1:
Background on Amy Tan
1.
The Life of Amy Tan
16
Laurie Champion
Driven by her demanding immigrant Asian mother, Amy
Tan parlayed her early vocation as a technical writer into
a career as one of the major voices in Asian American
fiction by writing of the mother-daughter conflicts she
experienced during her youth.
2.
Tan Turns Autobiography into Powerful Fiction
25
Amy Ling
Amy Tan used material mined from her own life to cre¬
ate the mother-daughter tales of The Joy Luck Club, craft¬
ing a powerful tale of tragedy and reconciliation.
3.
The Joy Luck Club Is Not
35
Strictly Autobiographical
Amy Tan
Tan s writings are not autobiographical in the sense that
many readers expect. Her stories are not childhood
memories, but instead are written through the lens of a
child s mind.
Chapter
2:
The Joy Luck Club
and Women s Issues
1.
Tan s Young Women Must Rediscover
41
Their Chinese Identity
Walter Shear
A major theme in The Joy Luck Club is that of being lost.
The younger women must reconnect with their lost Chi¬
nese roots in order to achieve selfhood.
2.
June s Symbolic Journey to Discover
51
Her Ethnic Identity
Zenobia
Mistři
June Woo s China journey to meet her mother s daugh¬
ters serves as a metaphor for all ethnic women who must
affirm, rather than reject, their cultural heritage.
3.
Damaged by Their Mothers High Expectations
60
Wendy Ho
The mothers in The Joy Luck Club, having all experi¬
enced hardship and loss, place high expectations on their
daughters, who are unequal to the task, and become vic¬
tims of their mother s lofty goals.
4.
Storytelling Reconciles Mothers and Daughters
70
Gloria Shen
As immigrant mothers and second-generation American
daughters grow further apart, the mothers use stories to
bridge the generation gap and help the daughters under¬
stand their mothers actions as well as their cultural heri¬
tage.
5.
The Maternal Line of Descent Dominates
80
The Joy Luck Club
Helena Grice
In The Joy Luck Club, as in many contemporary women s
Asian American novels, matrilineage, or the maternal
line of descent in a family, is a major theme.
6.
Mother/Daughter Relationships
88
in the Post Women s Liberation Era
Bonnie
Braenälin
Early feminist novels appearing in the wake of the
women s liberation movements suggested rebellious ways
for women to gain freedom, but novels such as The Joy
Luck Club assert that through dialogism, women can re¬
solve complicated issues.
7.
Female Empowerment in The Joy Luck Club
94
Patricia P.
Chu
Tan blends the mother-daughter romance with the Uto¬
pian myth of immigration to form a tale of female em¬
powerment in a new world.
8.
Tan s Beginning Rejects Stereotypes
100
About Immigrant Women
Catherine
Romagnolo
The opening of The Joy Luck Club has been criticized for
distorting Chinese culture, but Tan s book is consciously
an attempt to counter traditional stereotypes about Asian
immigrant women.
9.
Empowerment Through
109
Woman-to-Woman Bonding
Leslie Bow
The Joy Luck Club upholds the feminist notion that
women can become empowered through bonding with
other women.
10.
Asian American Gender Stereotypes
120
in The Joy Luck Club
Yuan Shu
Ethnic writers must be careful of the consequences of
their writing strategies, as certain details in The Joy Luck
Club may reinforce negative cultural stereotypes about
Asian American men and women.
11.
Tan Portrays Strong Asian Women
127
Jean
Lau
Chin
The Joy Luck Club s popularity among Chinese Ameri¬
cans owes in part to its depiction of strong Asian
women, as opposed to Western stories that often depict
Asian women in meek, subservient roles.
Chapter
3:
Contemporary Perspectives
on Women s Issues
1.
Mothers Are Society s Scapegoats
136
Paula Caplan
Mothers are usually blamed for all of their children s
problems, while fathers often escape such criticism.
2.
Asian American Women Must Overcome
144
Limiting Cultural Stereotypes
Nikki A. Toyatna
Asian American women are so much more than the do¬
mestic servants that cultural stereotypes would have
people believe.
3.
Biculturalism Leads to One Woman s
150
Acceptance of
Bisexuality
Beverly Yuen Thompson
The otherness of being a racially bifurcated woman has
made one woman s acceptance of
bisexuality
seem less
radical than it might otherwise be.
4.
Asian Women Are Still Not Completely
164
Accepted in the United States
Iris Chang
Despite the remarkable success of many Asian-American
women, full acceptance into mainstream American soci¬
ety is slow in coming.
5.
More Women are Working, but Job Equality
168
Remains Elusive
International Labour Organization
(ILO)
Societal views of women in the workplace are changing,
but men continue to garner more prestige and income
than their female counterparts.
6.
Feminism Is Not Dead, Just Evolving
174
Eleanor Holmes Norton
Young women may not consider themselves feminists,
but the opportunities they have are based on a move¬
ment that still exists in the everyday choices and lives of
today s women.
