Along with Western feminist theory's spreading in China in 1980s, feminist literary criticism evolved into a great criticism of the contemporary theories. As a summary of Female Literature, it is also helpful to find solutions to correlative female problems. Feminist consciousness has been a hot topic among its researchers; therefore its awareness is an inevitable outcome in human history. The creation of female writers became foundation of Female Literature by offering fresh writings.In view of origin and evolution history, we found that the self-knowledge about Female Consciousness, as part of Female Consciousness itself, determines its advancement. Consequently, the awareness may be a better way to overview meaning and value of women's literature. Critics establish Female Consciousness and encouraged women to do more creation during their analysis and research, which gives birth to women's literature.Power discourse is not only strength, but also a weapon.

It focuses on traditional oppression against female and their resistance; female image was consistently renewed by female writers in order to the fill in the blank page of the no-resistance history.Chapter II: Deconstruction & Reconstruction.

Deconstruction is nothing but a means to understand female literature in creating activities. The main purpose is to make both sides on balance instead of establishing women-oriented society. Thus, the "double harmony" and " No-gender Distinction Consciousness"emerged. This chapter includes the 2 items.
