Feminine Novel is the importante part of the 1990s literary world in China. The analytical object of this dissertation is Feminine Novel written in the 1990s. By discussing the body discours in these novels, we try to present feminine gender position, the novel's narrative tenet, words strategy and contribution to aesthetics. In this foundation,we will reveal the complexity of feminine novel in this period by thorough research.Feminine novel written in the 1990s had its spring in the background of the transformation which from politics-centeredness society to consumption -centeredness society, and we also viewed the feminine novel as the revelation of this transformation. In regard to the conventional society endowed the women with prejudice, the body discours in feminine novel made a series of negative depiction, and through the disconfiguration of daughterhood, wifehood, and motherhood,it challenged to the mannish system.The background of indulging in sex release in the 1990s, witch also provided women with appropriate complexion to establish noumenon status. At the same time, female body discours also presented a certain tendency of body-centeredness and sense organ-paramountcy. Dauntless self-expression interlaced with symptoms of women's disappointment on the men. The disgust to men came to women's position of guarding self-space and demand of homoerotism' coming into existence , and of consoling oneself was contemporaneous with the tendency of men-disgust. In addition, the study to the body discours in feminine novel of 1990s should be carried through the background of consumism.On the one hand, the confirmation of consumer culture to the female body affirmed the status of female's consume behavior,on the other hand, female demised their body autonomy when the body is consumed as "objects".In the narrative position of individuation, in manner of monolog to show sexuality is an important characteristic of feminine novel in the 1990s. In my opinion, as a gender practice, feminine novel of 1990s has a certain subversive signification witch we should not ingnore: striving for the right to saying the body discours; considering women's position as "others"; deoxidizing female experience of body; posting women's richness ravage in the life, etc.However, the holistic weather of feminine novel was restricted by resistant gesture taken on the body discours . Body should not only to be considered as the means of warfare, but also as being itself. On this basis, we may pay our hope on a newly naissance of bodily aesthetics.
