此論文以研究以小說《俗女養成記》為主要研究對象，該小說在作者江鵝的描寫下，屬於女性成長歷程的小說，並且描述當時的社會氛圍以及對女性的待遇。其中以作者的視角當作出發點，將童年與家人相處的記憶書寫成小說，其中不乏美食的回憶以及社會文化中對女性的觀念，同時也有描寫到當時臺灣的社會背景。本篇論文先探討臺灣小說再現女性主義，其年代的研究界定在1950年代到二十一世紀，瞭解臺灣女性作家的小說創作特點與當時臺灣的社會背景，接著進入到第二波女性主義之探討，明白此女性主義興起的開端事件及主要觀點，後續分析各流派的差異，經發現臺灣在第二波女性主義崛起的時間及流派的對應，分別是自由主義女性主義與激進女性主義。在研究方法上使用文本分析法剖析《俗女養成記》中的人物、情節、故事，從小說三元素進行文本的詳細分析，透徹瞭解小說之含義。接著利用文獻分析法探究自由主義女性主義與激進女性主義，以及利用臺灣女性作家在小說中描寫的1970~1990年代的社會背景。後續，將《俗女養成記》中有關女性主義的字句及社會背景的描寫做交叉比對，並且使用兩種不同女性主義的觀點及社會氛圍分析一本小說，是多樣化的比對，除了可以驗證作者在創作時的正確性外，且在其中瞭解臺灣女性在傳統教育與接受外來思潮影響之衝擊。

The main focus of this paper is to examine the novel"The Making of An Ordinary Woman" by Jiang, Er, which falls under the category of female coming-of-age stories and portrays the social climate and treatment of women during the time period. The paper will explore the author's perspective by analyzing childhood memories of family interactions, such as nostalgic recollections of food and societal attitudes towards women, as well as the social background of Taiwan at that time. The main objective of this paper is to investigate how feminism is represented in Taiwanese novels from the 1950s to the 21st century. By examining the characteristics of female authors' literary creations and the societal context of Taiwan during that period, the paper seeks to gain an understanding of how feminism is portrayed in Taiwanese literature. Furthermore, the paper will delve into the second wave of feminism, examining its origins, major tenets, and different feminist schools of thought. Through this analysis, the paper concludes that in Taiwan, the corresponding schools of thought during the rise of the second wave of feminism were liberal feminism and radical feminism. Using text analysis, this study analyzes the characters, plots, and stories in "The Making of An Ordinary Woman" to gain a thorough understanding of the novel's meaning through the detailed analysis of its three elements. Additionally, the study employs a literature analysis method to explore liberal feminism, radical feminism, and the social background of Taiwan in the 1970s to 1990s as depicted by Taiwanese female authors in their novels. Furthermore, the study cross-compares the representation of feminism and societal background in"The Making of An Ordinary Woman" using two different feminist perspectives and social contexts. This diversified comparison not only verifies the accuracy of the author's creation but also sheds light on the impact of traditional education and foreign influences on Taiwanese women.
