Abstract

Emily Dickinson is not really influenced by Feminism movement or by its anthology, but if we study her poems from the perspective of Feminism, the consciousness of Feminism is reflected obviously in her theme of death, life, nature, love and marriage. Under the background of 19th century, her special life experience has reflected her consciousness of feminism, which is a kind of ideology marked with classical feature of women and their understanding. This kind of ideology can be expressed by exploring one's inner heart and creating poems. Feminism is a kind of strategy for Emily Dickinson to understand and experience life in order to realize the independence of her spirit and personality.
