[摘要] 奥地利女作家耶利内克的《钢琴教师》和旅英女作家虹影的《饥饿的女儿》，都带有浓厚的自传性色彩。饥饿的生存环境让两位女主人公在困境中挣扎。作家既以手中之笔将女性生存写得那么无望，同时也为密室打开一扇天窗，以独特的姿态展现了人性的坚韧。

[Abstract] Austria authoress Jelinek's "Piano Teacher" and authoress lived in England Hong Ying's "Daughter of the River" both have a strong autobiographical color. The hungry living environment leads the two heroines to struggle for survival. The writers not only make the survival of women seem so hopeless, but also open a window for the chamber of secrets, in a unique gesture to show the tenacity of human.
