传统女权主义理论认为经济独立是女性获得社会地位的前提,认为职场上的成功能使女性得到社会的认可。但美国小说家詹姆斯·瑟伯在作品《有利地位》中,对此进行了彻底的否定,并深刻地指出女权主义不能仅仅停留在经济层面上,而要关注那些传统文化中贬抑女性的因素。瑟伯以自己的创作为女权主义的发展指出了一条新的道路。 Traditional feminist theory holds that economic independence is the prerequisite for women to acquire social status and that the success in the workplace can make women recognized by the society. However, James Thurber, the American novelist, completely denied this work in the “favorable position” and deeply pointed out that feminism can not stop at the economic level, but pay attention to the factors that depraved women in traditional culture. Thurber pointed out a new road for the development of feminism with his own creation.
