Zhang Xinxin and Zhang Jie are two contemporary Chinese women writers. They began to publish in the post-Cultural Revolution era, and became well-known in the early 1980s for their fictional depiction of the problems of the urban intellectual women attempting to resolve conflicts between love and career, love and marriage, and ideals and reality. After giving an overview of the development of the images of women in the fiction of the two writers and factors shaping it, the author examines to what the images presented challenge traditional ideals of feminity and women's roles.
