Generations of women directors made different achievements and significance in the history of Chinese film, which wrote a new magnificent chapter in the feminist. Now Female directors are included in the researches which are focus on the grouped film, the sixth generation of the film, independent produced film and so on. My assay took the history as the main axis, use the film as text and took the changes of women's apparel as the entry points to take a look how female directors use the medium, films , to reveal the traditional relationship among the camera, actors and the audience, the narrative mode and the fact that women are suppressed under the traditional culture from the film female image, text structure, cultural control and other aspects of gender differences, furthermore to destroy the suppression of female creativity and deprived screen image of women, and rebuilt the main features of women as creators and performers.Female wearing clothes should not be materialized for the community as a sex symbol, women who fight for their own identity should be aware of a violent protest is not a violent overwhelming at the same time. According to the most basic living needs for clothe, women can also change the perspective of their own social gaze, and able to speak for themselves. In this paper, I will reveal the body of female is no longer the object of male desire, and also their bodies in a film is a method to reveal their own desire and thought from the perspective of women's body language in the historical development. Only female director can explore female themselves to discuss something which have not be described and can not be described by language - those women's issues which have been suppressed under the patriarchal culture. The female films directed by men tell the audience that the tragedy of women is not caused by women themselves, but caused by society. However, such films tend to make women more deeply recognize its social limitations, satisfy a passive role and build the value of a male-centered ideology. In the aspect of body language, thanks to the prevalence of body writing in recent years, sexual liberation as the first post-modern feminist goals, literary has nothing to worry about in body writing, as the result it does not express the desire for female sexual liberation, but meet the men "peeping "desire.
