Abstract

In this rapidly developing new media era, a variety of social media is popping up. This paper takes Xiaohongshu as a case study to investigate the correlation between Xiaohongshu development and female users as well as analyse its impact on female construction. Based on data evaluation and literature research, the paper discusses the historical origin, development process and current situation of Xiaohongshu. According to the results, as one of the most popular apps in China, the success of Xiaohongshu is closely related to women, which also promotes women’s construction. It also confirms that the success of a media or a platform is based on the user’s grasp. These results shed light on how social media affected gender construction.
