William Golding has long been blamed for the absence of women characters in the novel,but the absence of women is not a phenomenon without precedent in history and in fact it is a desolate tradition of the literature in the British Isles.

Through cultural analysis and textual analysis,the author attempts to provide some new interpretation and evaluation of the absence of women in Robinson Crusoe and Lord of the Flies.

Her tenth novel The Blind Assassin, the winner of the influential Booker Prize, through its embedded narrative structure, in the same vein examines the female identity and constructs a unique, complicated female protagonist, Iris.

It became an immediate success and met with various criticism which is either directed toward such ideological issues as ethnicity, female identity, cross-cultural presentation, or toward such formalistic issues as genre and postmodern thinkings.

The present study purposes to contribute formalistic narratology to the study of female identity in Maxine Hong Kingston s Woman Warrior.

Consequently, the attempts of construct a new feminine identity is destined to failure.
