An Analysis of Chicana Women's Way to Speak in Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories from the Perspective of Postcolonial Feminism

Chicana is a term synonymous with Mexican Americans after the mid-20th century. Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros, depicting how Chicana women, under the double oppression of "gender" and "race," change from silence to gradually voicing for themselves. This paper combines the views of postcolonial representative Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak to study this collection of short stories, and analyzes this process of consciousness awakening from a postcolonial feminist perspective, aiming to explore Cisneros's feminist writing in this book within the postcolonial context, reflecting the ideas of women's liberation.
