Abstract:

The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing’s masterpiece. And she was awarded Nobel Prize for literature with this work in 2007. The Golden Notebook consists of a story named “Free Women” and five notebooks. “Free Women” tells about the life and career of the main character Anna and her friend Molly. The five notebooks are Anna’s notes which are differentiated by different colors. They are black, red, yellow, blue and gold. They record four aspects of Anna’s life. Many people take this work as a feminist work, while Lessing did not agree with this.
Through close reading and studying the former research, this dissertation aims to understand Lessing’s feminist concept. First it talks about the traditional feminism, and gives Lessing’s feminist concept. Then it discusses the sources of Lessing’s feminism and analyzes the reflections of Lessing’s feminism in this work. In the end, the dissertation draws a conclusion that the real “free women” are nonexistent. Men and women cannot be separated from each other. Actually Lessing’s ideological consciousness is very high. She is not limited to think about the female. In her view, compared with other political movement, feminism is not too important.

Key words: Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook, free women, feminism

摘 要：

《金色笔记》是英国著名女作家多丽丝•莱辛的杰作。在2007年，她因为这部作品获得了诺贝尔文学奖。《金色笔记》是由一个叫“自由女性”的故事和五本笔记组成的。故事“自由女性”讲述了女主人公和她的好朋友莫莉的生活和工作。这五本笔记是安娜的笔记集，他们用五个不同的颜色来区分：黑色，红色，黄色，蓝色和金色。它们从四个方面记录了安娜的生活。许多人把这部作品看作女性主义作品，但是莱辛始终不赞同这种看法。
通过仔细阅读文本和研究前人的学术报告，本论文旨在解读莱辛的女性主义思想。首先介绍一下传统意义上的女性主义思想，然后给出莱辛的女性主义思想。接着分析讨论莱辛这种思想的来源和这部作品中莱辛这种思想是怎样体现，在最后得出结论是真正的“自由女性”是不存在的，男人和女人是相互依存，不可分割的。实际上莱辛的思想是站的很高的，她并不局限在对女性的思考，她认为女性主义比起其他的政治运动，其实并不重要。
