Middle and later periods of the 20th century, with the growth of the ideological trend of Postmodernism, Feminist Literary Theory with tendency that is a dark horse, spread on the western theory circle rapidly, and become a rising star that have strength of destroying and bewitch most. It was born in American-European the second Feminism sport climax that rose in the sixties of the 20th century, it is the result that the Feminism sport got deeply to the cultural field, with the distinct brand of the political nature and individuality. At the same time, during its development, it absorbed many kinds of theory achievements by crossing other fields, has transformed and utilized these theories, form a plural and open system. In terms of difference that the theory is inclined to, we can divide Feminist Literary Theory into Britain and American school and French school. Though one is devoted to criticizing practice, one is devoted to theory of languages, but their essences are all literature theories of regarding women as their centre. Sex and social sex are regarded as their foothold. They are devoted to excavating the origins of women's subordinate position in history, culture and society; discussing the mutual relation between sex and text; criticizing the sexism in terms of literature, language and psychology. They are in order to explore language of women, find women's literature history, and rebuild the new theory of literature study.Feminist Literary Theory against theory in the 1960s, build and construct theory consciously during the 1980s and 1990s, its development and change have roughly gone through four main stages: start of the criticism of Women's image; search of the women's literary tradition; rise of Feminist Literary Theory; development of pluralistic criticism of identity.

At the same time, woman regards her " body " as her own writing resources, organizes languages with " parler femme ", structures and thinks in non-linear, non-centre way, forces readers to understand and think women's meaning contained in the text from new angle, thus achieves the purpose to clear up " phallogocentric".It is undoubtedly an important subject leaping cultural tradition and the demarcation line of the language that discuss the " Ecriture feminine " theory in the western Feminist Literary Theory systematically and apply it to the research of women's writing in Chinese Contemporary Literature. Because there are accumulations of our contemporary women writers' creation and the western translated and introduced theories, the appearance of Chinese Ecriture feminine can be said to be naturally.
