“FEMALE CONSCIOUSNESS” IN CHINESE WOMEN’S LITERATURE OF THE 1980s–1990s

Abstract

In the 1980s appeared a new generation of female writers (Zhang Jie, Tie Ning, Wang Anyi, Can Xue), whose names are associated with the formation of contemporary Chinese women’s prose, which is characterized by deep psychologism and various female characters. The difficulty of studying Chinese women’s literature lies directly in the manifestation of gender traits. The purpose of the report is to analyze the representation of female consciousness in the fiction of Chinese female writers of the 1980s to the mid-1990s (Zhang Jie, Can Xue, Wang Anyi, etc).
