Abstract: In this article I focus on female figures in Henrik Ibsen’s dramas from the point of view of their marital conditions hereby paying attention to the lack of equality between the married couples. Nora’s revolt against patriarchal tyranny paves the way for the women’s liberation movement in Norway. In the article I throw light on Ibsen’s role as a door-opener for Chinese women’s fight against male suppression and draw some parallels to Julia Kristeva’s analysis of Chinese women and their marital situation.
