In the form of human civilization constructed by male thinking,women are"second" in the absence of subjectivity.For centuries,in order to strive for equality and"self',feminists continue to carry out the struggle and thinking with the times.Philosophical ideas of different times,even those extremely unfriendly,have given feminist new perspective and direction.As the postmodern philosopher Foucault,Derrida and others look at the "other" perspective have internal similarities with postmodern feminist ideas,it is Natural to draw strength from the postmodernist philosophy when the postmodern feminists face how to construct their own subjectivity.This paper starts from the analysis of the reasons of the non-subjective status of women,and puts forward the proposition that the patriarchal society established by the western philosophical logocentrism is the root of female loss of their subjectivity.Postmodern feminist representative Helene Cixous,Lucy Irigaray,Julia Kristeva on the basis of Foucault,Derrida,Lacan and others deconstruction of ideas,put forward the theory of subject construction.Cixous's "female writing",Irigaray's deconstruction of the philosophical discourse and the view of multiple sexual subject,Christie's semiotics and intertextuality theory provide the theoretical basis for the construction of female subjects.The postmodern feminist thought is essentially based on anti-rationalism and reconstruction of the deconstructionist position,and its own have unique theoretical and cultural values.However,there are problems for the definition of female identity and female language within this theory.Postmodern feminists seek to get rid of their theoretical predicament in transcending gender,so that both sexes can get rid of gender repression and return to the complete existence of human beings.
