摘　　要：Scott Fitzgerald is one of the most important novelists in the literary history of America.His masterpiece,The Great Gatsby,is one of the greatest works of the Jazz Age,and occupies an important position in the American literary world with its profound social significance and artistic techniques.Since its publication,the literary world has been showing a great interest in the novel.At present,the study on the novel at home and abroad is mainly conducted from the perspectives of symbolism,American dream,and other aspects.The study of feminism in this novel is not adequate enough,and the analysis of female characters is still slightly lacking.This paper will study the feminism contained in The Great Gatsby,combining with the background of the age and author’s life,and on this basis,the paper will analyze the three female characters of Daisy,Jordan,and Myrtle from a feminism perspective,so as to show that,the female characters in the novel are distorted and become the victims of patriarchy.
