Women's Survival Dilemma from the Perspective of Female Writers

With the research on gender issues for a long time, women's studies have become very mature in all aspects. Although the theory is rich, there is still little concrete practical progress. This article focuses on the analysis of the perspective of female writers and looks at the current situation of women's life from their perspective. By perusing a considerable number of literary works, this paper selects four female writers and conducts an analysis of their representative works to elucidate three types of female survival predicaments: the absence of female desires, the absence of a female voice, and the presence of female objectification. By analyzing the works of these female writers, an obvious problem was reflected: the living conditions of women described in their books are still outdated in today's society. Until now, many women's desires have been ignored. Even as a gender that makes up half of the population, many important works lack a female perspective, and the image of women is still objectified, not only in literature and movie works, but also in real life.

Abstract

With the research on gender issues for a long time, women's studies have become very mature in all aspects. Although the theory is rich, there is still little concrete practical progress. This article focuses on the analysis of the perspective of female writers and looks at the current situation of women's life from their perspective. By perusing a considerable number of literary works, this paper selects four female writers and conducts an analysis of their representative works to elucidate three types of female survival predicaments: the absence of female desires, the absence of a female voice, and the presence of female objectification. By analyzing the works of these female writers, an obvious problem was reflected: the living conditions of women described in their books are still outdated in today's society. Until now, many women's desires have been ignored. Even as a gender that makes up half of the population, many important works lack a female perspective, and the image of women is still objectified, not only in literature and movie works, but also in real life.
