AB East Wind West Wind registers the coming of age of Chinese women as seen with Westerneyes. Buck’s novel deals with the clash of two ideologies: the Chinese tradition, which as-signed a specific and very limited role to women in society and promoted submission, andthe Western world, which is epitomized in multiple ways in the story. The image of 1920sAmerican society as a liberating force is perceived in the relationship with the husbandand the daughter-in-law representing alterity and sorority at the same time. Buck makesher political allegiance to the West explicit and East Wind West Wind showcases how theWestern world helps the protagonist to know herself better and to accept herself.
