Semiotics, Experience, and the Material Self: An Inquiry into the Subject of the Contemporary Asian Woman Writer.
Geok-Lin Lim, Shirley
World Englishes, v9 n2 p175-91 Sum 1990
Examines how twentieth-century Asian women writers have been and continue to be marginalized by gender, by the choice of writing in English, and, when the writer is a member of a minority, by the prevailing majority power structure. The author's recollections of experiences in Malaysia form the basis for discussion. (39 references) (JL)
