Post #9 "The female individual and the empire"

This article expresses to readers the different approaches within the two tales Mulan and Kingston's Woman Warrior.

From reading this historicism approach I got a more historical contextual View of the story Mulan. As someone who has never really looked into the story Mulan this was very helpful in better understanding it. I also was able to see the difference within the two myths and the purpose behind writing it.
