Abstract

The western feminist literary criticism was introduced into China around about 1983, which had great influence on the feminist literary theory and literature in China. This article explores the influence and significance of contemporary feminist writing in China. The influence of the French feminist literary criticism on the contemporary female writing in China is in the perspective of private space / internal perspective / narcissism. The most influential and obvious controversy is caused by the West Soviet influence. This article focuses on this. However, as Anglo-American women's literary criticism tends to influence the contemporary female writing in China in terms of public space / external perspective / self-examination and self-reliance, China does not have as large a feminist movement as Anglo-American, but instead liberates its own national liberation. Therefore, this influence is more indirect. This article focuses on the guiding significance of the British and American feminist literary criticism on contemporary Chinese women's writing.
