Female Consciousness in The Thorn Bird
                         
Abstract：The Thorn Bird depicts love stories of three generations of the Clearys. The novel creates three typical female images. This thesis aims to find out the history of Australia women struggling for their right and equality from the perspective of female consciousness as well as the interrelationship between social development and the awakening of female consciousness. First it elaborates the basic connotations of Feminism and female consciousness, then investigates heroines’ fighting for their right and equalities with men and points out the limitation of female consciousness in a patriarchal society. The complicated experience of the three characters of the novel actually shows their confusion and struggle between tradition and revolution. At last the author also explores some reasons in respect to some relevant factors about the cultural and historical background of Australia as well as the author’s life experience, so as to make a conclusion that female consciousness goes along with social development.
Keywords: The Thorn Bird; feminism; female consciousness; patriarchal society
