Web Blogs have run for seven years in China since 2002 and become more popular and social today.In particular,it has an important influence on women's life.Though the academic research on blogs has started for several years,the results of research on the current domestic famous women-oriented blogs are not much.Therefore,I attempt to apply Literature Research method and Cultural Studies approach to the thesis.Starting from the development of contemporary Chinese history and culture of women,the thesis will express the opinions on blogs and feminist interpretation through the well-known women of blog writing.INTRODUCTION of this paper is Review And Observation Of Women's Blog Writing, which will give the concise definition and characteristics of blogs and describe the history of domestic and foreign blogs respectively.Then I will define the concept and type of women-oriented blogs.The first chapter is Women-oriented Blogs and The Creation of Space for Women.Firstly,I will provide an analysis of the basis of construction of female subjective identity.After talking about the analogy of "one of their own house"(A concept invented by Virginia Wolf),short summary will be given:the ability of economic self-sufficiency is the key to enter the public domain.Secondly,the description about the history of the well-known female bloggers'growth will be given in chronological order.Actually,the goal of the female bloggers' successive and magnificent "performance" is for the share of power which is the common aspiration of women. Again,comments circle of commentators who are also famous female bloggers is another important power parallel to the female bloggers.I will analyze the texts of Li Yinhe'blog and other feminist researchers.They are only representatives who contribute to the promotion of female culture for a long time.Their efforts should be recognized for enhancing overall network subjective awareness of women.The second chapter is Women-oriented Blogs and Women Discourse Practice.Starting from specific women-oriented blog phenomenon with some famous examples,the thesis demonstrates that the emerge of large number of women-oriented blogs in China is the result of three internal and external aspects.So this chapter is divided into three parts:New Wave of Feminism,Types of Women-oriented Blogs and Styles of Discourse and The Impact of Women-oriented Discourse. The conclusion is the feminist discourse practice and the establishment and updates of female awareness are both relatively complex process. The third Chapter is Women-oriented Blogs and Female Identity Construction.Three parts are needed to analyze the determining factors and flexible conversion of female identity.Section one demonstrates that the construction of the single identity of female blogger was the process completed by texts,images,symbols of self-definition and help of the media which create a sensational effect.Section two shows that identities of female bloggers is diffluent.Female Identity can converse between virtual world and reality.Then,inherent identity correlation between virtual world and reality is established.Third,the diversities of female bloggers' identity are the "masks" for "masquerade" on line.Then,they can participate in the carnival activities naturally and be promoted to challenge on male-centered value system,so as to achieve greater value.The last chapter is conclusion titled The Plight and Vitality.On the one hand,we should speak highly of the positive impact of blog which is a new technological revolution,because of its important achievements in the display of female images and the building of a democratic society;on the other hand,the current women-oriented blogs have exposed some problems. Therefore,this thesis tries to provide corresponding measures in the hope of expressing my expectations of the bright future of feminism in china.
