摘要：Sisterhood, which is defined in this paper as a continuum of a close bond among women that accommodates both female friendship and female same-sex love, is a major motif in the fiction of contemporary Chinese woman writer Chen Ran and Chinese American writer Amy Tan. In their story telling from female perspectives, both writers touch upon, although with different emphasis, sisterhood as a source of women’s consolation and salvation. This paper conducts a thematic comparison of the two writers’ portrait of sisterhood, the affirmation of which is a powerful means to revolt against compulsory heterosexuality prescribed by a male-supremacist norm. An analysis of Chinese and American socio-historical realities and literary representations on sisterhood is also carried out to account for the variations of the role sisterhood plays in the fiction by Chen Ran and Amy Tan.
