Study of Feminist Thought in "The Joy Luck Club"

Abstract

The development of any kind of literature can not be separated from the ethical culture and natural environment at that time. "The Joy Luck Club" tells the story of two generations of mothers and daughters, and expresses feminist thoughts in a concentrated way. In the study of feminist theory, there is a long-standing controversial question, that is, whether there is an inherent female language expression. Feminist perspective is a branch of feminist narrative literature, which is mainly used to examine women's subjective consciousness, reflect the oppression and influence of male chauvinism on women, and at the same time expose the inequality in reality and sublimate their feminist thoughts through female perspective. This paper will briefly introduce the content of "The Joy Luck Club", discuss the feminist perspective of "The Joy Luck Club" and analyze the feminist voice of "The Joy Luck Club".
