Abstract

This article examines the female figures in Eileen Chang’s works, exploring their female consciousness in different social environments and historical backgrounds, as well as the influence of Eileen Chang’s legendary experiences on their formation. This article delves into the female consciousness depicted in Eileen Chang’s works, revealing her contributions to modern Chinese literature and social culture. The female consciousness in Eileen Chang’s works reflects her concern for the status of women and serves as a critique of patriarchal society and feudal culture. The female characters portrayed by Eileen Chang exhibit strong individuality and self-awareness, yet they still struggle to break free from the constraints of patriarchal society and feudal culture, losing themselves in the “foreign enclave society”. Eileen Chang’s legendary life greatly impacted the development of her female consciousness.
