This thesis is based on the analysis of various kinds of texts on May 4th Revolution and left wing novels during the 1920s and 1930s. Under the social, political and cultural background, it aims to probe the expressions of revolutionary female in the novel text of Mao Dun, Bai Wei and Ding Ling, focusing on how to express gender, how to construct national subjectivity and female subjectivity in these texts. The reason for the formulation of these expressions and their relationship with social history are also discussed by the author, trying to clarify the power relation behind. How the Women's Emancipation develops in China is also a main line in this thesis.The first chapter probes the relative discussion on Women's Emancipation of early communists from Kang Youwei to Chen Duxiu and Xiang Jingyu. The reason why free-will love is highly focused lies in the new value and morality it was endowed with, which carries on the meaning of constructing modern national subjectivity and modern national community.The second chapter probe into part of Mao Dun's works. After the great failure of 1927 revolution, love and revolution become common writing style. The appearance of this writing style can be regarded as a kind of effort to find a way solving personal spiritual crisis. "Shi" and "Hong" express the revolutionary anxiety of the female at that time, which also reflect the confusion and conflict of the female under Mao Dun's pen and also reversely reflect the predicament and internal anxiety of male subjectivity.The third chapter mainly deal with the work of Baiwei focusing on the female body of revolutionary expression.Bai Wei probe into the relationship between revolution and love, Women's Emancipation and revolution and the subjectivity of revolution.In the expression of revolution and love, the female body is often used by the revolutionary expression.Bai Wei has taken the phenomenon into consideration,but can't offer an explanation. In Chapter Four,through reading Ding Ling's "The Diary of Sophie", "Wei Hu", "During the Spring of 1930,Shang Hai I" "During the Spring of 1930,Shang Hai II",we can clearly feel the growth of a female subjectivity----from the small ego in an isolated world to the big one actively into the vast land.
