This paper mainly discusses the factors of female worker's collective action, base on reviewing the latest literatures of social movement and collective action theories, integrating them from Le Bon's Contagion Theory to New-social movement theory into four perspectives: social psychological interpretation, action interpretation, structural interpretation and cultural interpretation.
