Maxine Hong Kingston “No Name Woman”

This story was very interesting. The aunt, or 'No name woman,' was treated badly because she had a forced or consensual relationship outside of her marriage. I think it is interesting to look at this story from the time frame it is set in and compare it to now. Nowadays most people in American culture do not feel the need to commit suicide because of an affair. The setting of this story is very important.
