In the patriarchal society, the feminine words and the feminine'sfriendship are cancelled crudely or covered gently in the text and history.As the gradual recovery of the feminine realization,the female writersexplore the world of the female experience from the unique view andwith the exquisite brushwork, which promotes the great development ofthe feminine literature. "Sisterhood" is absorbed into the creativeattention by female writers. It becomes a narrative strategy used by theunited female against the patriarchal society. This creation, which ignoresthe male-centered world but turns to perform the deep secrets of thefemale's life from the self physiology and spirit, is a kind of liberationand rebel. It's also a sign that shows the feminine literature is developingtowards depth in the new era.This paper discusses the reasons of the creation of the "Sisterhood"from the four aspects: form in the confrontation; escape and fantasy afterbeing loss; narcissism- redeemer; concern about the life will. And thispaper discusses the reasons of its fragility. There are many reasons inauthor's opinion, which mainly include survival pressure and the buffetsfrom the outside world, the constructions of "Sisterhood" from themotherhood and wifehood, the constraint by the traditional ideas deeprooted in the female, the suppression of the patriarchal languages, and soon. So "Sisterhood" is still a feminine's Utopia.Furthermore, by inspecting the sisterhood in the feminine's texts, theauthor discovers the Chinese contemporary female writers have discussed"Sisterhood" continuously and thoroughly. It changes like a curve,experiencing the process from resisting the patriarchal society with nochoice to inspecting the female circumstances conscientiously, releasing the dreams toughly, then dispelling the loftiness and reposing thehelplessness.
