In the 1990's, women literature has developed from individual attempts and exploration made by very few women writers and precursory poets into a literal trend that can counterbalance other literal phenomena. Some women writers highlight maternal history in the history of human development by recording maternal genealogy, making it no longer an unnamable vacancy in human culture. Meanwhile, other women writers show great concern for women's experience and identity, making attempts to explore spiritual world. They try to pioneer their own special space in confined forbidden zone of language by writing their own personal experience and spiritual distress. The analysis and exploration of women's experience is embodied in many literary styles, including novel, poetry, prose and so on.Although women literature is in the state of unprecedented prosperity, there still exists chaos. Women writers tend to create a binary opposite between men and women by preannouncing men as male chauvinists in opposite to all women. In order to break through the shadow that always restricts women, so that they could eventually tend towards self-salvage, those women writers exaggerate description of physical experience by using extreme words, which exceed the vision of spiritual automorphism and soul view.By analyzing a number of women's texts in the 1990's, the author tries to make research on women's relation from the aspect of women's relation in women's text. In addition, the author tries to wrap out the influence of traditional opposite between men and women by the way of dual topic of women, and search for the hidden truth after a long gaze by getting rid of aesthetic stereotype. The author sorts out different texts according to three different women's relation, including relation between mother and daughter, sisters and affection of the same sex. These relations have their own characteristics and at the same time overlap each other. They constitute an abundant world full of women's individual experience and feelings. However, in the texts these relations eventually are put in a fragmentized state that can not be changed easily.In my opinion, as women literature has developed to the state of today, it is far from enough to stick to binary opposite between men and women and priority held by men. It is also not enough to make attempts to wrap out the legend created by words usage of male chauvinist through the way of exaggerated description of body. What we need to do is to carry out deep analysis of women's complexity by expressing women's reaction and feelings in the face of the world as well as their lives' abundance and profundity from various women's perspectives. Women text and women's writing should not contain doctrines. On the contrary, they should be endowed with search in the darkness, attitude of equal conversation, transcendence above narrow women's text and exploration in new language field. Women writers bring their special feelings and ideology to public culture by the way of literary works, only by doing so can people get more enlightenment of thought and phenomena.
