The title The Woman Warrior gives us the idea that women are strong enough to be warriors. Reading the excerpt No Name Woman from the story The Woman Warrior tells us a lot about how Chinese women are looked at by society. Women are often looked at as objects by men and by social media making everyone think it is okay for women to be looked at as objects instead of human beings. They are often also looked at sex toys, for men to play around with and in the end just give them away to another man. The way society looks at women is unfair because no one looks at men in the same context. People tend to think that women are less and are weak. Women aren’t weak they are as strong as any other person in the world.

In the excerpt No Name Woman Maxine focuses on how her mother explained to her about starting her menstrual cycle with the example of her never born aunt. She talks about how her aunt killed herself and why she had done it and sets it as an example of what not to do now that she has started her period. Feminism is the advocacy of the women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. In this story, it shows us how women aren’t equal to men according to society and economically. The fact that the girl’s grandmother doesn’t have a name shows us how women aren’t valued as men are. It tells us how women seem to be powerless because they can’t even be recognized by their own family members. They have to sell themselves for food or other resources because they are poor and also because they are girls. Being in a world where women are constantly looked at as objects and not as humans they are usually persuaded to trade sex for things they need. Because of poverty and desperation they are willing to give anything for resources they need. Knowing this men take advantage of the situation asking for sex in return.

Society makes women seem less than a man and also makes them look individually weak and powerless. Many think women aren’t capable of anything but truth be told any women can take the job of a man and work twice as better as he could. It doesn’t matter the gender, size, ethnicity, or age to get things done. In this world we live in women aren’t usually given the respect that they deserve because without women nobody you wouldn’t be here reading my story.
