Description
In East Wind: West Wind, The Good Earth, The Mother, Pavilion of Women, and Peony, Pearl S. Buck presents an array of memorable Chinese women. Suppressed by society but refusing to submit to it, these women are able to thread their way through a maze of Confucian doctrines to fight for their freedom and dignity. Deftly portrayed, these characters are individualized and typical to different degrees, and the degree to which a character is individualized is determined by the theme of the novel in which she appears.
