Abstract: Jelinek,who has strong consciousness of feminism and social criticism,has been a controversial female writer,whose Nora:What Happened after Nora Left Her Husband,or,Pillars of Society is a reconstruction of Ibsen’s A Doll’sHouse.Yet Jelinek’s original intention is not to subvert the image of Nora in Ibsen’s drama,but to portray a new Nora from the angle of feminism,so as toanswer how Nora lives and struggles in the male-dominated society.This paper tries to analyze the feminism of Nora:What Happened after Nora Left Her Husband,or,Pillars of Society from the viewpoint of androgyny,so as to reveal Jelinek’s ideas about the male-female relationship.

Key words: reconstruction, Nora, androgyny, feminism
