A Feminist Analysis of
\nWith the development of feminism, analyzing literary works from a feminist perspective plays an important role in promoting the development of literature and feminism. In this paper, the author uses textual analysis to explore the feminist ideas reflected in Li T'ung: A Chinese Girl in New York through an in-depth analysis of the content; analyzing the impact of the historical ups and downs on women's destiny and the dilemmas of the society at that time in the light of the background of the twentieth century; using feminist theories to analyze the work, combining with the feminist literature critique and the feminist social theories. The analysis is carried out with Li T’ung, the main character as the center. This paper explores the work from a feminist perspective, analyzing the narrative techniques and Li T'ung's character, and exploring dilemmas of women in the 20th century shown in this story. From this study, readers can understand the objectification and marginalization of women's value in the society, as well as the constraints on women's social roles under the patriarchal society, and the mainstream culture of the patriarchal society had suppressed the germination of feminism and limited the development of women's subjective consciousness.\n
