In the globalization of context, people pay more and more attention to the subject between identity and dissimilarity, and then identity becomes a hot topic of research in the field of humanities. From anti-representation to recognition, feminism has different targets in each stage, but all of them are related to identity of female, In other words, identity is the axis or core for the feminism's running. Much more scholars take identity as stones that may serve to polish jade in the field of gender's research, while there's less people do researches of female's identity from angle of ontology.Anti-representation is a logical starting point of female's identity. In phallocentrism society, social gender is an incorrect representation which hides the antimony structure of male and female. In this representative system, female is considered as accessory while male is considered as main part. If female wants to set up or restore their main part, female must take phallocentrism as their revolution target, in order to make a logical beginning of identity for female. For feminism, anti-representation is a necessary insufficient condition of achievement on female identity. Although anti-representation provides its trends, it doesn't give specific strategies how to achieve it. Thus, female identity must overstep anti-representation and look for its new sources of their theory.Deconstruction is an "exuviation" that female identity has to experience. If anti-representation set up the original starting point for female identity, then deconstruction offers specific strategies for female identity's construction. Female identity is not a simple establishment that rising from the level ground, it includes a series of demolishment for its construction. For the establishment of female identity, deconstruction of center and structure and construction of female identity is interdependent and can not be separated. Only if having the aid of deconstruction strategies, can female identity clear away dregs of phallocentrism and its shadows? In this place, female identity is a negative existence called out. Such negative identity provides opportunities or mediation of identity for those missed females. As anti-representation, deconstruction is also an "exuviation" that female identity has to experience, it is destined to be exceeded or abandoned.Female identity is a kind of identity of subjectivity. For female identity, main part is an Archimedean point for constructing female identity. If female wants to occupy a positive position towards their identity, it must firstly obtain the qualification of main part, and describe itself as a main part. It's difficult for us to arrange or set up a future for female main part except representative system between imaginations and facts. Female could only set up its place as main part and establish its identity when it goes into phallocentrism. While in post-modern deconstruction environment, it's nearly impossible to establish a united female's main part, thus, the construction of female's main part faces new demands. Although feminism hasn't given up its concept of main part, it gives up the dream of constructing a female community. In the globalization of context, identity for individuals appears its uncertainty which leaves a chink of deconstruction for female identity precisely. At the same time, changeable identity also strengthens necessity of pursuing female identity. Polybasic reference system of identity result in heterogeneity's polybasic of female identity. Self-deriving and self-scraping are necessary for female identity, which is also one of strategies for construction of female identity.Recognition as an identity mode, it temporarily overcomes disadvantages of identity and connects identity with justice. Both identity and recognition deal with unity and difference, however recognition not only gets over divisions arousing by identity, it can also provide moral basics to identity. If people consider theories of recognition as a correction of identity, though it can transfer the emphasis of identity from its difference to unity, it cannot realize its fighting purpose individually when recognition works as a one-dimension of justice. Thus, only if we put the construction of female identity into justice of gender, can we fulfill our purpose better.From angles of many theories, such as representation, deconstruction, main part, recognition and other theories to pursue female identity, it just means rewrite "female identity" and erase it. During the process of pursuing, we pay attention to its differences, not unities. In other words, the meaning of pursuing female identity is its process, not about the results. But only the concept of female identity appears in the pursuing. If it wants to realize female identity, women must make for the politics of recognition on the base of constructing the subjectivity, thus integrates female identity into the category of justice, realize female identity through realizing gender justice.
