Current research on women's independence has overlooked the proactivity of subjective consciousness in the workplace and the construction of the"wife's role".This study introduces the concept of"resilient women",selecting 20 married and mothering monthly nurses as case studies to explore how monthly nurses construct an image of independent women through their profession.The research finds that monthly nurses,by stepping out of the home,have awakened the consciousness of women's independence,reflecting the"resilience"of their own choices;they take on the responsibility of supporting their families,reconstructing intimate family relationships,reflecting the"flexibility"of the interplay between money and emotions;they continue to strive in their monthly nurse profession,reflecting the"strength"of women's lifelong struggle and pursuit of self.These three types of resilience build the image of monthly nurses as"resilient women",breaking through the constraints of traditional gender systems on women's roles and echoing the personality traits of Chinese civilization.This image combines the resilience of working,the flexibility of caring for the family,and the strength of living out one's self,finding a new way for women's independence in the balance between tradition and modernity.
