Book Description
Arlene Avakian’s memoir evokes the quarrels, ambition, prejudice, and courage that shaped her coming of age in a family that immigrated to the United States to escape genocide in Turkey. Inspired by her passionate feminism and strengthened within a loving lesbian relationship, Avakian records and re-examines her personal history, discovering the story of her grandmother, which brings with it a legacy of radical politics and a powerful affirmation of ethnic identity.

You go girl !

When I first received my copy of Lion women's Legacy, I was very judgmental. Would this be another book about some woman's memoir talking endlessly about her nice childhood in a nice Armenian community, her family, her bright future, ideal marriage, great kids and a happy loving ending as is the case in most Armenian women's memoirs? But I was delighted to read the first few pages; this was something different, something fresh most of all something real. The author was talking about real people, real emotions. The story is about the coming of age of a young Armenian-American woman in New York in the sixties, seventies. Born to Armenian immigrant parents, Arlene V. Avakian retraces with vivid images, charming stories of her childhood, bringing to life different family figures (mother, grandmother, aunts, and father...). The cultural elements included by the author give an exotic aspect to the book; we could easily smell the food cooking in the kitchen, the spices, hear the laughter of the women, the music, the language, etc. It is about the conflict lived by the young girl between the old country's traditions and customs still alive in the Armenian family and in a way imposed upon her and her desire to be completely American and assimilated to the new culture she adopted. It is also about the difficult road she took to play an active role in determining her future as a young emancipated woman in a society where women's issues were just starting to shake the institutions. And it is most of all a quest to find her true identity as a woman, as an Armenian and as an American. Her straightforwardness stands out throughout the book and touched my soul. Very inspiring and real!

Lion Woman?

This is absolutely the worst book I've ever had the misfortune of reading. The subject should have been about the true lion women, not this fake Armenian. The writer has no relevance to Armenian history or experience.
