1 Ecofeminism in Thea Astley’s Drylands Zhang Xiuqing , 2020 single work criticism
— Appears in: Advances in Language and Literary Studies , vol. 11 no. 3 2020; (p. 42-45)

'Australian multi-award-winning novelist Thea Astley was a great writer in promoting feminism and ecofeminism in her later years’ writing. This paper analyzes her fourth Miles Franklin award novel — Drylands from the perspective of ecofeminism. From analysis, it draws a conclusion that Astley makes a lot of efforts to raise readers’ awareness that her women characters’ liberation depends on their economic independence but it will be a hard and long way to achieve the final emancipation of women and total equality between women and men.'

1 A Brilliant Example for Women - Comments on My Brilliant Career Zhang Xiuqing , 2014 single work criticism
— Appears in: Advances in Language and Literary Studies , vol. 5 no. 1 2014; (p. 58-61)

'Based on the theory of American feminist critic Elaine Showalter, this paper analyzes a peculiar feature of early Australian novel My Brilliant Career and discovers that it spans three phases of Women’s Literature. Through her indefatigable strive for equality between men and women, independent personality and self-fulfillment, the bush girl Sybylla in the novel had set a brilliant example for today’s women.'
