Abstract

Feminism has always played an important role in British and American literature. Like issues such as racial discrimination, the civil rights movement, and the transgender movement, writers will not forget to show the protagonist's female awareness in their works. In recent years, led by celebrities and various feminist organizations, a new wave of feminism has been making waves around the world. The popularity of women's topics continues unabated, and feminist literary works are increasingly presented to the public. This paper starts from the feminism in British and American literature, analyzes the female images in some classic British and American literature, and expounds the influence of the embodiment of female consciousness on British and American literature. 

Keywords
