It is not a fresh topic which is usually be summed up by scholars as the "Iron girl", even some extent it can be said that "iron girl" image has been a myth. But if the images of women in visual art at different stages of this period can be carefully examined, we will find that these images have a transformation from the family to non family or social images, and a tendency to return to the feminine beauty.
The change is contacted with not only the social reality of the time and the new China's literature and art policy, but also the constant change of new China's policy on women. In addition, during this period, the women's ideal images shaped by female artists not only in itself and the national ideology of gaze, but also by the impact of the image of women shaped by the contemporary male artists, the purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the direct and indirect relationship between the change of the images of women in the visual arts during this period and the social factors, resulting in a new social and cultural standards to interpret the visual images of women in this period.
