１８世纪妇女小说家被接受的基础在１７世纪。１７世纪使用“女主角──女作家”的概念说明妇女创作得到公认，但对发展中的妇女创作却是一种退步。事实上，妇女的倍受限制和妇女的声誉是同步增长的。在这种让步中，女性的“温柔而理智的帝国”得以建立，但它却带有深深的矛盾的印痕，由此形成了文学中的女性传统． The 18th century women novelists accepted the foundations in the 17th century. The use of the concept of “actress-woman writer” in the 17th century shows that women’s creations are well recognized, but a step backward for developing women’s creations. In fact, the great restrictions on women and the reputation of women are on the rise. In this concession, women’s “gentle and rational empire” was established, but it was deeply contradictory with the imprint, which formed the female tradition in literature.
