Abstract

It has been more than 20 years since Chinese online fiction first developed (1990). As a new branch of online fiction, Female Leader (i.e. fictions take women as protagonists) online novel have emerged in recent years (around 2010) and become a cultural phenomenon that cannot be ignored. It is possible to analyse the development of feminism in the field of online literature by combining it with feminist studies in a social context. The essay begins with an introduction to the relevant background, followed by a description of the current state of research and its shortcomings, as well as the theoretical framework of feminist criticism (FCDA) that will be applied. Next, two representative texts from different periods are analyzed using the two articles of the theoretical framework. Finally, the purpose of the study is to analyse what kind of demands for feminism are revealed in feminist novels of different periods, what are the progress and limitations of “feminist novels” and what kind of development can bring better results, at last, what we have learned and thought about.
