Since the mid-1980s, researchers have been showing increasing interest in exploring the domain of 'feminine poetry'. If we, review the poetic works in the 1990s, we would find that compared with the 1980s, the writing of feminine poetry in the popular cultural context has undergone noticeable changes. The academic researches of it, however, feature the theory of single feminism as if it were a conceptual trend, which, in consequence, put the poetic writers in an awkward situation. In the meanwhile, due to the disregard of the text and language of the poetry, or in other words, the lack of poetic talent on the part of the researchers, the researches of poetry, which have become ossified and tedious, seem to be staggering along, unable to keep pace with the poetesses.This paper, grounded on the related literature theories, sets as its goal to explore the characteristics and styles of the feminine poetry in the 1990s on the whole. At the same time, it also analyzes the individual poetesses and their poetic works over a span of time. Based on 'the Collected Works of China's Feminine Poetry' published in 1997 yet not confined to this book only, In the meanwhile, three perspectives will be taken into consideration, namely, 'feminism', 'language' and 'popular culture'.Doing research on the feminist poetry of 1990s is aesthetic journey at first. Through reading and analyzing amounts of poems written by female poets, I intend to find out more works that have not been mentioned and appreciated before; Secondly, the thesis is expected to reflect the application of theories of feminism and popular culture, as well as the deliberate text reading on feminist poetry. Above all, it is from a critical rather than appreciated research attitude, to argue with those general flattery and meanwhile provide another possibility for the research of feminist poetry.
