| dc.description.abstract | Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street (1984) and Sapphire’s Push (1996) are regarded, among others, as a staple of young adult literature. While attempts have been exhaustively made to delve into a site of oppression under which the protagonists are buried, this research departs to discuss and compare the characters’ unfailing commitment to self-assertion.

Esperanza, a Latina girl in The House on Mango Street, seeks self-empowerment in the patriarchy-free sphere, harboring a desire to desert gloomy Mango Street. Precious, an African-American girl in Push, however, exhibits resistance traits, exerting both her mental and physical power to overcome subversion. I further put forward the claim that literacy, a fundamental feminist agenda, connectedly influences their endeavor to negate normalized discrimination.
