Discuss the similarities and/or differences between the character Lillian Shan in Dashiell Hammett’s “Dead Yellow Women” and one of the Chinese American daughters in Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. To what extent have the characters assimilated American lifestyles? In what ways have they retained elements of their Chinese cultural heritage? What do the two authors seem to be saying about what it is like to be a woman of Chinese descent in the United States?
