Amy Tan in “Mothers Tongue”, she tells a story of her life and the discrimination in which her mother , and her at times faced. As a result of that it shaped her into the individual that she is today.Throughout the text she talks about the the discrimination that her mom face not as only a person who does not know English but because she is a woman. As a result of that many people pretended that she could be walked all over based off of her not knowing much English.
This is a legal problem being that they took advantage of her based off of her not being fully aware of English. They refused to give up her money, refused to even acknowledge her mother.
