With the birth of New China,Chinese women have changed their old stereotypes and customs,and gradually come out of the boudoir and has also changed the idea of low status of women.In an increasingly powerful China,more and more emphasis has been placed on equality between men and women.In Egypt,the four ancient civilizations,there are still many areas where women suffer from torture,low status of women,advocating patriarchy,and suffer great physical and mental harm.There are even many places where the bad habit of female circumcision is retained,but women think it should be.One of the great women finally resisted,and she was Naval Sadawi.Nawal Saidawi,an Egyptian doctor,writer and social activist,has fought with the Egyptian government all her life for the social status of Egyptian women.In her mind,from doctors to writers,from scalpels to pens,from metaphorical writing techniques to symbolic descriptions,she expressed her strong desire to give Arab women various rights.From her works,she criticizes the present situation of contemporary Arab,and expresses herself purely.He is a writer deeply rooted in his native land,fighting for herself and other women.Her works cannot be separated from facts.They are about her life.Only by having a profound experience and expressing herself with her most painful life events,her works had been integrated into the world and recognized.Nevertheless,she never wanted to recognize that Sadawi was arrested in 1981 and forced into exile in the 1990s.Even in the face of danger and controversy,she was desperate to fight for the women of her country.She just hoped that the women of her country would not Continue to bow their heads and endure,and that her country would not suffer from the title of backwardness.This thesis is an attempt to study the feminist consciousness in Nawal Sadawi's works.Through the first chapter of the research background,purpose,the author's brief introduction to understand the author's feminist consciousness,as well as the embodiment in the works.Through the analysis of Nawal Sadawi's works,it reflects her tenacious fighting spirit and her protest as a woman.Through the study of her works,it shows her influence in Arabia and in the world,and analyses her contribution to women from the perspective of Egyptians.Chapter two mainly writes what kind of Arab culture is expressed through Sadawi's articles,in order to show what kind of solution culture has.How other people influenced by her works,especially young people,because they want to change their society for better,more developed,and more open and resistant to social diseases and customs.Whether from a literary point of view or a social point of view,Sadawi's works have better demonstrated the Arab culture,not only criticized the bad habits of Arab culture,but also wrote the solutions he hoped for.Chapter three is about Nawal Sadawi's awareness of feminism.Analyses her feminism,her characteristics,how to show it and why she chose to write feminism in the beginning.From various articles,we can find out the traditional concepts of the bottom Egyptian people in the political culture of patriarchy.The patriarchal culture is dominated by men,who believe that women are the tools of domination,the chastity of their daughters,the labor of their wives and the birth of their women are regarded as the "property" of the family.They think that women are "incomplete",while Nawal Sadawi uses various articles and the fact that she is a doctor to fight for women's rights,so that women can reposition themselves and possess them.I am not the property and tool of patriarchy.Chapter four focuses on the criticism and comments about Nawal Sadawi.in the face of criticism,she chose to go abroad to study and continue her studies,but did not give up.She had to fight bravely with the most advantageous weapon of knowledge.At the same time,because she wanted to change the culture of disease,all the cultures displayed were the customs of earlier times.Sadawi is not only an Arab feminist,but also a representative of the world.What she really criticizes is not only the inequality between men and women in the Arab region,but also the worldwide inequality.With the development of society,all nationalities will have inadequate understanding and deviation of ideas.Sadawi is deeply rooted in Egyptian soil,which does not affect her criticism of the concept of gender inequality in the world.It's like her attitude when she's criticized.Finally,this paper concludes that in the works of Nawal Sadawi,she expressed her dissatisfaction with the definition of women by Arab patriarchy,and expressed her desire for equality and women's rights.Not only as feminism of Arab women,but also worldwide.As a writer,she writes about these repeated bad habits.With the theory of gender equality,she extends the equal human nature between men and women,and writes out the positive development direction of contemporary feminism.Deeply criticize the gender discrimination and inequality between men and women.
