It has been greatly developing in the British , France and American since 1960s . The famous leader of feminist criticism in American --Elaine showalter had successfully compared feminism with Female doctrine in 1970s . As a prominent harbinger of Female doctrine in the British, Virginia Woolf 's literary life of thirty-seven years had crossed the hind period of feminism and the front stage of Female doctrine in the feminist poetics, so her female doctrine has the imprint and characteristic of transition, and she has significance and restriction of transition. At the same time, Woolf had walked into the tip kingdom of theory essay and the newest novel writing. Her literature origination and theory essay writing have the characteristic of creation and novelty, and have the major element of female doctrine of modern sense .Her 350 pieces of comments and proses, 9 pieces of long novels, have deeply impressed the female doctrine.Woolf's female doctrine not only widely touches on the woman's history and reality, woman's language and image, the real-life difficulty and ideal of woman writing, man right and language, but also deeply digs into male root of the essence of the order of man right and language on economy, law, morality religion, culture, literature and art, she also explored the destiny and the outlet of woman and her writing,and built her noted androgyny poetics on this basis, The theory has become the focus of feminist criticism and impori?utcome .Woolf expressed her intense anger to the order of man right and huge anxiety to the reality of woman when she combed the history of writing, education, career of woman.
