本文旨在探討清代女詞人吳藻作品中之性別意識。首先由其作品中佔有甚高比率的言愁之作分析，發現其作品之愁緒紛紜之一個重要原因，即是來自於其對男女性別意識之覺醒。其次根據文本分析其在性別問題上所思考的幾個面向：一為對於男性、女性社會性別角色差異的覺知；二為對於女子才德觀的反思；三為跨越性別藩籬的希冀。吳藻生於女教束缚仍深的清代，其雖無力改變當代之社會體制，但是從歷史的角度來看，吳藻在性別意識覺醒的時代鍊條上具有承先啟後的地位，是其中十分重要的一環。

This research deals with the gender conciousness revealed from the works of Wu Zao, a female poet in the Ching dynasty. Most of Wu's works delivered her feeling of sorrow, which is firstly investigated. The finding is that the awakening gender consciousness is one of the major driving forces, which cause Wu's works filled up with tangled sorrow. Secondly, three gender issues that frequently argued in Wu's works have been discussed as following: 1. The awareness of the difference between male and female social characters. 2. The introspection to the female's talent and morality. 3. The hope to surpass the boundary of gender. Wu Zao grew up in the conservative Ching dynasty in which female's education was restricted to the traditional ethic; this eventually made her feel hopeless to breakup the conservative social ethic. From the viewpoint of history, however, Wu Zao certainly played a critical role a linkage in the historical chain of awakening gender consciousness.
