The House on Mango Street is written by Sandra Cisneros who is a Mexican American. It gains more popularity among all social classes in America. Most researchers analyze this novel from the perspectives of feminism, post-colonialism, and post-modernism, but this paper puts emphasis on Chicana images from the perspectives of economic, social status, and masculine hegemony. This paper helps readers understand the living conditions of Chicana images and appeals us to pay more attention to this group of people.
