Abstract：Studies on female poverty began to rise gradually in the middle and late 20th century. In recent years, research on poverty among female gained popularity led by the western country, especially by the United States, focusing on the fields of medicine, economics and social sciences. In the meantime, the research from developing countries gradually increased. This paper analyzed the latest progress of foreign studies on female poverty in geography from 2002 to 2017 by using citation analysis software CiteSpace. It was found that the research is mainly based on summarizing different geospatial and social deprivation, analyzing the characteristics of female poverty in the region or discriminating the phenomenon of feminization of poverty, exploring the influencing factors and mechanism of action, and carrying out relevant policy research. Based on research hotspot and social gender theory, this paper abstracts the research framework system of female poverty, and summarizes the explanation mechanism of female poverty mainly caused by the gender difference formed by the external environment factors and the internal physiological gender differences, resulting in deprivation of physical and mental health, human capital and employment, land and housing assets, time burden, space accessibility and migration, and other aspects, forming different groups of poor female.
