Any humorous/serious prose designed for Asian women?

I'm an Asian girl involved in high school speech activities. Are there humorous/serious interpretations designed specifically for Asian women? There seems to be a lot written specifically for white, African American, and even Jewish women, but I have only found only one work, "No Name Woman" by Maxine Hong Kingston, to be for Asian women.

Check out FOB by David Henry Hwang. There might be something there you can work with.

Also there is a great monologue anthology book that has several pieces for Asian women. I've used it myself to find pieces. Here's the link through amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Monologues-Actors-…
The great thing about amazon.com is that you can look "inside" the book at the table of contents to find the play name and playwright even if you can't purchase the book. Although you might be able to find this book at your library.
