Chinese feminist criticism was developing and rising with the large wave of inputting the foreign discourse in the late of the last century. As same as the other a range of the discourse systems, Chinese feminist criticism also experienced the course which from one-sided acceptance to the mutual interaction. In this stage, Chinese feminist criticism on the one hand constantly absorbed the useful thought from the foreign criticism; on the other hand it tried to find the better way to combine the foreign discourse with the Chinese context. This thesis attempts to deeply inquire into the broadcast history of western feminism in china and point the effort of the formation of the Chinese feminism.In this thesis, chapter 1 mainly discusses the necessity and the dilemma of the "definition" toward to western feminist criticism in the Chinese context, therefore, we recognize that western feminist criticism which affected by the post-modernism thought should be defined accurately, which is possible to be used correctly on the background of the Chinese culture.Chapter 2 tries to surmount the twice "discourse turn" in the aspect of formation the Chinese female discourse, which from "the thought concerned with the women's power/right "to "feminism" and from "women's literature" to "women's writing" .Thus, Chapter 3 explains the fact and the meaning of the Chinese criticism and creation that are coherent in the Chinese context by three texts that is representative of the history of the Chinese feminism development. Consequently, we can make a conclusion that "finding" and "expressing" the real women is the permanent discourse demand of contemporary Chinese feminism.
