Abstract: Marilyn Chins writing goes through three phases from the perspective of feminism, ethnicity and identity. In the first phase, she wanted to blend in “the great tradition” of white literature through “selfveiling”, but she couldnt escape the cultural nostalgia; in the second phase, she paid attention to selfidentity and self liberation and tried to fight for female ChineseAmericans; in the third period, she intends to use a range of modes and technique of literature without confining to only one aesthetic. The ultimate goal is to unite different traditions and cultures.

Key words: self veiling, cultural tradition, fusion

摘要： 从女性主义出发，综合考虑族裔和身份的因素,陈美玲的写作经历了三个不同的阶段：第一阶段试图通过“自我遮蔽”融入白人文学的“伟大传统”，但是在创作过程中却无法摆脱文化的乡愁；第二阶段开始关注自我身份和自我解放，努力为华裔女性争取权益；第三阶段自由地运用各种文学模式和手段，不局限于一种美学，最终达到各种传统与文化的融合。
