ABSTRACT

The present study analyses the “women’s death” defined by XiaoHong by referring to all of XiaoHong’s works published between 1933 and 1941. Thereby,the present study aims to elucidate the motivation that drove XiaoHong to writing,her philosophy, and XiaoHong’s unique perception of her miserable life. The author believes that the “death of women” in China in XiaoHong’s era was caused by suppression by the war and social classes, and sexual discrimination. Furthermore, the author believes the predicament of women still exists in a different form in the current society. The author concludes that XiaoHong’s works are worthy of re‐appreciation as they reflect the hardships of women of not only old and feudal societies but also modern society.
