Abstract This paper compares Julia Kristeva's Chinese Women with the criticism of it by contemporary Ameican feminists Gayatri Spivak, Lisa Lowe and Rey Chow from the perspective of international feminism, orientalism and diaspora respectively so as to understand the construction of Chinese women in western feminism. It recognizes the following distinct features of such a construction: othering, feminizing, orientalizing of the Chinese women; in other words, this construction serves as a mirror to reflect western femininity and the construction of western feminine identity.
