There are many similarities in the contents,plots and themes between Woman in White and Lady Aud-ley’s Secret. And the image of“mad woman”appears in both of the two novels. Therefore,by using Foucault’s power theory,this paper aims to discuss the insanity of women in the two novels on the basis of intertextuality. This paper points out that the mad woman,who is the product of patriarchal society,represents the revolt of the female power and the awareness of the female consciousness.%19世纪的两本畅销小说《白衣女人》和《奥德利夫人的秘密》在故事内容、情节及主题上都存在着诸多指涉关系,而“疯女人”更是两部作品中反复出现的一个文化现象。从互文性理论出发,运用福柯的权力话语理论,来探索两部文本中的“疯女人”现象。探讨疯癫的女人是父权社会的产物,代表了女性的反抗理论与女性意识的觉醒。
