This isn't an interview with her, it's an excerpt from her book, and it's her byline on the story.

This is at the bottom of the story: "This essay is excerpted from 'Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother' by Amy Chua, to be published Tuesday by the Penguin Press, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc. Copyright © 2011 by Amy Chua."

For all intents and purposes, it is advertising for her book. I wonder if the WSJ chose that piece to print or if it's what was provided by Penguin? I wouldn't be surprised if it was her publisher who chose the excerpt, and they selected the portion that they knew would cause the biggest reaction and sell more books.
