Abstract

The subject of Feminist geography mainly focuses on the interaction and reconstruction between female and space and place. The development of western feminist geography originates from the 1970s, whereas the relevant research in China is relatively lack. In current, China's society is in a period of transition and the local context has its particularity. Through keywords search and thematic analysis method, this paper divides the domestic research literatures of feminist geography into six sections:female and urban-rural spaces, female and employment space, female and family space, female talents and geography, female and literary space, female and tourism space. First of all, in terms of women and urban and rural areas, gender roles and urban space are mutually constructed. Women present corresponding spatial characteristics with different development stages of society, meanwhile, they reconstruct urban space through their initiative. Secondly, in the matter of female and employment space, women are confronted with gender segregation compared with their male counterparts. In the meantime, there are internal differences among women group. Thirdly, the improvement of females' education background leads to the rise of women's academic status and the spatial distribution of female talents is mainly in the eastern coastal areas. However, they still cannot get rid of the traditional gender norms. Fourthly, in terms of women and family space, the value of housework done by women is neglected and the scope of outside is family-centered. Fifthly, in terms of women and literary geography, the description of women's space in literary works reflects ideal female images, while women in film and television works are still in a state of "aphasia".
