In the age of information explosion, media has become a bridge between individuals, between government and individuals, and between society and individuals. At the same time, emerging feminist forces need to push for more welfare and rights for women, such as abortion laws and rape convictions. Before the formal research, this article tries to find out the influence of the feminist movement on women's social status before and after, as well as feminists' concerns about the recent development of women's status in society. Through the analysis of books and articles on feminist theory and historical changes, changes in the ratio of male to female students in middle school, experimental research on and offline aspects of feminist activities and the current development of feminism are summarized, this paper hopes to find out the role of media discourse power in promoting feminist behavior. This paper finds that the media discourse can bring individuals and groups positive views on feminism, expand the participation of feminist movement, and enable readers to be good at self-reflection and change their life attitude through reporting.
