Abstract
Although Chinese writer Eileen Chang (1920-1995) and British writer Jane Austen (1775-1817) belong to different cultural systems and lived in different historical times and spaces, their works share many commonalities. This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of the works of these two female writers from China and the West using the theory of spatial narrative from a feminist perspective. It seeks to explore the shared patterns and differences in their resistance to patriarchal societies, thereby capturing the feminist spirit behind their spatial narratives.
