A divorced woman couldn't hold up her head among friends or relatives. Feminists and women's rights activists today argue that divorce or separation represent a bold move by a woman to break away from an abusive patriarchal family. Rather than something disgraceful, divorce has come to represent an opportunity to seek a new life and create a happy "second spring."
如今女性主義、女權運動者卻認為，離婚或分居是女性勇於脫離被迫害的父權家庭的象徵，離婚反而成了個人追求新生、另創幸福第二春的契機。
