Abstract The ability to use the basic functions of computer networks such as the Internet and electronic media enables the post-80s women to build their generational awareness and cultural identity, and express themselves in cyberspace. The division of literature channels based on users’ gender, and the two-way author-audience communication and support pattern based on “love” and “money” also contribute to the development of online women’s literature. Since women began to write and read on the Internet, online women’s literature has become an important way for women to channel their imagination and express themselves. Its diverse evolution in genres, themes, interests and expression technology mirrors the complicated spiritual world of the new generation of women. After a short period of spiritual ignorance springing from blind faith in the myth of romantic love, the new generation of women bid farewell to the primary stage of constructing gender qualities and self-identity. The awakening female consciousness diverges. The spiritual orientation and discourse expression of online women’s literature are respectively manifested as: perception of the insignificance of individuals and submission to fate, belief in the paramount importance of survival and depiction of the darkness of jungle competition, rebellious parody in defiance of gender qualities and discourse order, and new attempts in rebuilding enlightenment ideals and identifying modern values. The spiritual trajectory and diverse expressions of online women’s literature are related to the social experience accumulation and self-awareness of the new generation of women. Each spiritual dimension and its expression can trigger topical discussion and shocks to feminine ideal in the Internet interest cultural field, where like-minded people resonate with each other.
