摘   要

女性主义文学主要是指在文学作品中密切关注妇女的社会地位及生存状态，探索改变女性命运的出路及改善两性关系的方法，激励女性意识和女性自觉的文学派别。作为20世纪东西方女性主义文学的先锋作家，张爱玲和伍尔夫塑造了一个个独特典型的女性形象，并通过这些女性的命运，展现她们的思想及生存状态，进而表现出鲜明而独特的女性意识。两人对女性命运及两性关系的密切关注与深刻认识推动了女性文学的进一步发展。
本文以伍尔夫及张爱玲两人作品为主要依据，对伍尔夫及张爱玲文学作品中女性主义主题进行系统深入的剖析。首先，本文介绍了两人所在的社会背景，分析了社会因素对两者女性主义主题的影响。然后，以两人重要作品为依据，将两人女性主义主题分为三个重要方面：一、对男性中心的解构，反对男性的绝对主权和男女二元对立；二、对女性自主意识的呼唤，激励女性积极争取自己的权利和自由；三、对两性关系的思考，批判两性关系现状，探索两性关系的解决方法。最后，总结研究两人女性主义主题的重要意义。

Abstract

Feminist literature, as a distinct school of literature with more than one-hundred-year history, aims to give close attention to women’s social status and living condition, embark on an examination of the intricate relationship between men and women, and arouse long-depressed female subjectivity and self-consciousness. Among the feminist writers from western countries and China, Virginia Woolf and Eileen Chang are distinguished by creating different types of women characters, depicting their destiny and experience, and expressing distinguished feminist themes. These two feminist writers’ works have stimulated the development of feminist literature.
This thesis elaborates Woolf’s and Chang’s feminist themes according to their main works. First, it introduces the social backgrounds in which Woolf and Chang lived, and explains the contribution to their feminist themes. Then, it divides the feminist themes into three aspects. First is the deconstruction of patriarchy-centered system which opposes men’s overwhelming authority and dissolves the opposite relation between men and women. Second is the awakening of women’s self-consciousness, that is, inspiring women to fight for their rights and freedom. Third is the reflection on the relation between the sexes, which means the criticism on the current relation between men and women, and the ways to solve the problems. In the end, it summarizes the great significance of the analysis of Woolf’s and Chang’s feminist themes.
