摘 要
《芒果街上的小屋》是1部美國墨西哥裔女性成長的小說。本文藉助女性主義理論視角，重點分析了小說中兩類傳統的女性形象，通過分析女主人公埃斯佩蘭薩的成長曆程，指出埃斯佩蘭薩是不同於傳統的瓜達盧佩聖母型（La Virge de Guadalupe）和瑪琳齊型（La Malinche）的新女性，從而揭示出作家桑德拉•西斯內羅斯對墨西哥傳統女性價值觀的反思和顛覆。她在作品中把兩種對立的墨西哥的'傳統女性通過女主人公的講述，充分的展現在讀者面前。桑德拉筆下的女主人公領悟到這兩類女性形象的侷限性和虛假性，由此顛覆了按照男性意願，為確保男性統治地位設計出來的虛假的婦女形象，確立起獨立的女性自我意識，開闢出女性生存的新空間。
