摘要
Focusing on the relationship among three women (Blondie, Lan, and Mama Wong) in Gish Jen's The Love Wife, we shall explore the imaginary binary relationship between Blondie and Lan and the gaze of the (m)Other (Mama Wong) involved in the binary relationship. We are engaged in an arduous query-how does one deal with the Other woman, her otherness?-that can be explicated and linked to a larger social context: the relation between Western and Third-World women.
