陳維崧歷經國變家破，從貴公子淪落到如皋依附冒襄，又因屢次科舉不第，生活一直窮困。他的詞學觀，是詞能存經存史的使命感。他決定用詞來記錄保存所發生的事。加上明末清初心學的啟迪，李贄的〈童心說〉大倡男女平等，追求性靈的自由，婦女應有學道的機會。開放的文學風氣，使得婦女寫詩學填詞風氣大盛。陳維崧處在這個時代中，他的師友吳偉業、龔鼎孳、毛奇齡、王士禎，都是提倡獎勵女學者，陳維崧在他們影響下，後期詩文序中推崇婦女的才學。他所重視的婦女才學包括：1、稱許婦女才藝；2、表揚婦女殉節；3、嘉許婦女愛國精神；4、嘉許閨秀好學；5、同情婦女命運；6、為婦女存詞；7、評騭婦女詩詞。 因著陳維崧的努力，日後的文人或婦女也紛紛為婦女存詞，如沈德潛編《明詩別裁》時，收錄閨秀九人，《清詩別裁》收閨秀四十六人。阮元編《淮海英靈錄集》收錄女詩作四十餘家。歸淑芬等輯《古今名媛百花詩餘》，徐樹敏、錢岳輯《眾香詞》全是婦女作家。袁枚晚年廣收女弟子，刻有《隨園女弟子詩選》。直到李汝珍的《鏡花緣》，更注重女學，主張女子參政等等，都是進一步同情婦女，提高婦女的地位。

　　　　　Chen Wei Song went through tremendous changing of losing country and family, falling into the status of going to Ru Gao to seek for shelter from Mao Xiang, and because he repeatedly failed the imperial examination, he lived in poverty all his life. He thought lyric has the function of recording scriptures and history, he decided to keep what happened. The inspiration of idealist philosophy of the Ming and the Ching Dynasty and Li Zhui's promotion of sexual equality, pursuing spiritual liberty and that woman should have the education opportunity, made woman's writing lyric as a fashion. Chen's contemporary scholars, Wu Wei-Ye, Gogn Ding-Zi, Mao Gi-King, Wang Shi-Zhen, all are advocates that woman should be free to take education. Influenced by the above contemporaries, Chen's preface of later stage of lyric highly praised women’s talent and learning. What he valued women's talent and learning including: 1. Praise women's accomplishments, 2. Lament that women die for the sake of honor, 3. Praise women's patriotism, and 4. Praise women's study, 5. Feel sympathy for women's destiny, 6. Keep lyric for women, 7. Comment on women's lyric. Because of Chen's endeavor, numerous scholars and women kept lyric for women later, such as Shen De-Qian edited Lyric Collection of Ming Dynasty, collected 9 women's work, and Lyric Collection of Ching Dynasty, collected 46 women's work separately, Ruan Yuan edited Collection of Huai-Hai Spirit of Martye, collected more than 40 lady poets' lyric, Gui Shu-Fen edited Collection of Ancient and Modern Women's Poem, and Xu Shu-Hai and Gian Yue edited Women’s Lyric. Those writers are all women. Yuan Mei broadly received women as students late in his life, collected an anthology of Sui-Yuan Ladystudent. Up to Li Ru-Zhen's Affinity of Illusion, Scholars paid more attention to women’s learning, and even advocated women's participation in politics, pay more sympathy to women and raise women's position.
