Because of the changes of the ideological trend of thought in society and the wirter's awakening of women's subjective consciousness, heroines both in "The Bell-shaped Hood" and "No Word" performed the evolution process of feminist consciousness. For the different, the Work " The Bell-shaped Hood" expressed mainly in Western women's Madness, it is the inevitable outcome of what the women's requirements of independence were not acquired in the Patriarchal society.
