Abstract

This in-depth investigation explores the subject of giving women's narratives priority, with an emphasis on the acculturation gap that develops between succeeding generations of women. This research sets out to navigate the complex terrain of identity construction against a background of deep cultural variety, anchored in the ideals of authenticity, intersectionality, and varied representation in the novel ‘The Woman Warrior’. It reveals the complex tapestry of experiences that define women's lives via a painstaking examination of their stories. At the core of this work lies the importance of investigating the links between women's narratives and the wide-ranging effect of cultural shock. These stories serve as a lens through which to explore the complex consequences of cultural adaptation and the resulting alteration of identities. The research offers an acculturative perspective through which the intricate process of identity building develops within the complicated context of immigration by intimately interacting with these narratives
