Abstract: 晚明，受到社会思潮和经济发展的影响，江南地区出现了大批的闺秀文人，沈宜修是其中最为出名的闺秀文人之一。从其创作出发，可以分析出具有代表性的晚明女性意识。词作为一种相对纯粹的抒情文学文体，对于探讨明末女词人的女性意识来说，是最重要的一种文体。通过探究可发现，沈宜修已经在社会思潮，经济发展，家庭环境等条件的影响下，初步具备了欣赏女性，与女性建立深厚情谊等较为鲜明的女性意识。In the late Ming Dynasty, under the influence of social trends and economic development, a large number of ladies’ literati appeared in the Jiangnan region, and Shen Yixiu was one of the most famous ladies’ literati. From her creation, a representative female consciousness of the late Ming can be analyzed. As a relatively pure lyrical literary genre, the word is the most important genre for ex-ploring the female consciousness of female lyricists in the late Ming Dynasty. Through the exploration, it can be found that Shen Yixiu had already possessed a distinctive female consciousness under the influence of social trends, economic development, family environment and other conditions, such as appreciating women and establishing deep affection with women.
