The feminist literary criticism is a new criticism arising in the middle of the twentieth century and soon became a new theoretical trend of criticisms of studying literature in the literary world. People are required to read and explain the literary texts with the new angle of view. They reveal the contents of gender discrimination and female consciousness and subvert the culture of patriarchy.The feminist literary critics between the Mainland and Taiwan are affected by the west feminist literary criticisms and have made research in their own literary field . Although the feminist literature between the Mainland and Taiwan came from the same mother's body ,they made a difference when the critics restructured and applied the feminist literary criticisms because of the long-term isolation and the differences of the political circumstances between the straits .These differences mainly indicate three aspects :The first is that the literary contexts made a synchronism because of the affection of the political circumstances .The second is that the differences were made when they imbibed and applied the methods of the feminist literary criticisms .The feminist literary critics of the Mainland tried from the reality of our own country , to make quest for the criticisms and methods with Chinese feature. The feminist literary critics of Taiwan directly made use of the western feminist literary criticisms to write and analyze texts .The third is that the differences were made when they practized these theories .The western feminists advocate the critical patterns based upon female bodies , female writing , female discourse , female lesbian and androgyny .The feminists between the straits lay emphasis upon the different points of the criticisms and the degree of the criticisms. But, the feminist literary criticisms betweenthe straits can be traced to the same origin because they have the same historical circumstances and the same cultural tradition. They basically maintain the methods of social and historical criticisms from feminism reading and female centralism criticism. They made differences only when engaged in literary research and carrying out literary creation .These differences have broadened their field of vision and provided more materials for the critics between the straits to construct the feminist literary criticisms with Chinese features .They've become a member of the world literature and made great contributions to the development of contemporary literature.
