Grace Lee=Individual
At first Grace is disillusioned, because each Grace she meets seems to be similar. They are passive, nice, over-achievers. Grace then feels that she is under-accomplished compared to these women and wonders why she is so different. As her documentary continues though, she encounters many unique women. By learning about the life of each woman, Grace is able to deconstruct the stereotype about Asian American women. She meets a woman who works to change communities and the lives of everyone in them. She meets a woman who has persevered through each hardship she faced and helped a family in need. She is a woman who inspires her own son and everyone who hears her story. She meets girls who know exactly who they are in life, what they believe in, and what they want to accomplish. She discovers that each Grace Lee is not the same. Each one has their own sense of self and sense of accomplishment. She brings home with her a sense of pride in her name. I hope she brought home her own sense of accomplishment, because by taping and sharing these women's stories, she is praising them and allowing others to become inspired.
