摘　　要：The Easter Parade is a masterpiece by Richard Yates,which was published in 1976.The image of Emily,the heroine of the book,can be regarded as an iconic figure of early feminists in America.The aim of this paper is to explore Richard Yates’view of feminism,through analyzing the image of Emily in the book,and to understand the pursuits and dilemmas of feminists.Emily,as a woman in patriarchal society,who has always struggled independently on her own and fights against her fate,ends up in failure.Sarah,a typical image of“the other”who is dependent on men,eventually dies a tragic death.In front of the cruel and unpredictable fate,whether women have the sense of resistance or not,it seems that life always points to tragedy.Emily’s path of awakening is accompanied by real-life dilemmas,which is the epitome of every feminist’s experience.
