There are five chapters in this book. The first chapter briefly introduces the name, connotation, development process and main writers of Chinese American women's literature. Most Chinese-American women's novels reveal themes by telling stories and reshaping the images of Chinese characters. Therefore, Chapter 2 analyzes the images of Chinese mothers, daughters, and fathers in Chinese-American women's novels. Chapter Three discusses the themes of Chinese-American women's novels. Identity and the "American Dream" are the two major themes. Chapter 4, after analyzing the narrative strategies of "The Joy Luck Club", "The Warrior Girl", "Inspiration Girl" and "Bone", summarizes the most significant narrative features of Chinese women's novels: family narrative and autobiographical narrative. Chapter 5 takes the new works of old writers and representatives of new writers as examples to analyze and summarize the new trends in Chinese American women's novels in the first decade of this century: the combination of ethnicity and universality, inheritance of tradition and personalized writing, and equal emphasis on diversity and literature.
