Asian Women in Film

The video we saw on the depiction of Asian women in film was eye-opening. They have been stereotyped as the “lotus blossom” or the “fighting dragon” and are almost always shown as being submissive and inferior to men. I cannot think of anything in the media that portrays Asian women in progressive roles, except for Gray’s Anatomy. I think a great film and book to read that depicts Asian women in many roles is the Joy Luck Club.
