German in origin, the Bildungsroman is a novelistic genre that refers to narratives that deal with the process of formation and development of its protagonist from childhood to adolescence. The Bildungsroman has been evolving and adjusting itself to new historical, social and literary concerns and a significant shift seems to be taking place in the area of family dynamics, particularly in the case of immigrant Bildungsroman. The rise of feminist, post-colonial and minority studies during the 1980s and 1990s broadened the definition and approach to Bildungsroman resulting in unprecedented increase in female Bildungsroman. Many emerging post-colonial writers are women and have migrant backgrounds and their personal experiences of migration are translated into their works, which have come to serve as metaphors for identity reconstruction. Filial relationships, mother–daughter relationship in particular, are an important theme in ethnic female Bildungsroman  The Woman Warrior  ( WW ). This article examines how the mother–daughter relationship in female Bildungsroman  The WW  marks significant departures from the conventional Bildungsroman – how the protagonist reinscribes herself within her parents’ culture by tracing the descent line of her Chinese–American, female, artistic self through her mother while at the same time reinscribing that culture into an American context; how the shared experience between Brave Orchid and her daughter as marginalized women in racist American society is used to forge an exalting relationship.
