Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

As a woman writer with a firm political orientation, Ding Ling pays a close attention to the fate of women in most of her novels, and manifests her challenge to the mencentered world. She shows her direct intervention in the outside world through heroines in her writings, thereby gradually politicalizing her description of women. The feminine consciousness in her works transforms from the early individual awareness, symbolized by Sha in Lady Sha Fei's Diary, to the socialized postSha Fei ideology. Individual consciousness approaches to that which considers the human being as a whole, with the development of the revolution, as the situation keeps adjusting literary themes. Thus by integrating the theme of women's liberation with other miscellaneous forms of struggle, Ding marks a sample under the special political circumstance of China then.
