To explore the construction of housewife image from the perspective of Chinese feminism through critical discourse analysis

Abstract

In view of the status quo of feminism and women research in China, we will focus on the group of "housewives", who are easy to be ignored and are often regarded as typical examples of women attached to their husbands and families. But I think there is some misunderstanding. In the traditional female point of view, housewives are not financially independent, around the family all day, or even spiritually rich, not "independent women". But isn't there an element of self-selection involved? In my topic, through critical discourse analysis to understand the construction of housewives from the perspective of Chinese feminism, so as to explore the "self-value" in the housewife group.
