When the gender criticism turns to the field of literary writing,its major concern becomes closely related to such aspects as gender & language and power,gender & stylistic selection,gender & writing norms,and so on.According to the gender criticism,in the analysis about social power and individual consciousness,the common factor is language,while language is reflected by “discourse”,and discourse is always the concrete historical practice,representing power.In any society,a set of dominant legal discourse is unexceptionally the reflection of the values and interests of a specific class,gender and race.In the patriarchal society,in particular,language itself is the oppression of the female spirit,in other words,the patriarchal linguistic environment has given a kind of traumatic experience to the female.Therefore,healing such a trauma becomes one of the inherent dreams of the female writers.This paper conducts some exploration on this matter.
