The second is to write about your familiar life. Doris Lessing's parents are both British. From 65438 to 0925, she lived with her parents in southern rhodesia, a British colony in Africa, where she spent most of her childhood and youth. Lessing left the missionary school at the age of fifteen and worked as a secretary, typist and clerk. Many of her works are based on personal experiences in Africa. It can be seen that if you want to gain a foothold in the literary world, you can be an excellent writer instead of working behind closed doors.
Third, based on reality, give play to their own advantages. Lessing is a woman. From the beginning of writing, she has taken women as the theme. Her novel The Golden Notebook, published in 1962, is recognized as her masterpiece, which sets a delicate and complicated structure for the theme of "free women" and causes a debate about "feminist or anti-feminist text", and becomes Gloria Stein.

A pioneer of feminist movement supported by radical figures such as Greer. She is not only famous in the literary world for this work, but also established her image as a feminist. Many of Doris Lessing's works always pay attention to women's living conditions, and vividly discuss how women position themselves (different from wives, mothers and mistresses), and even how to get out of themselves under the pressure of the real society. In the announcement of winning the Swedish Academy Literature Award, Doris Lessing "examined a divided civilization with the power of doubt, enthusiasm and conception, and her works are like an epic of women's experience", and called Lessing's novel The Golden Notebook "groundbreaking among those works describing the relationship between men and women in the 20th century".
The fourth is to learn from "everyone". It is impossible for a person to become a writer without studying the works of outstanding writers in history. Only by studying and studying can we take off on the shoulders of our predecessors. Lessing praised the realistic narrative tradition of19th century in his early years, and once said: "For me, the highest standard of literature and art is19th century novels, which are masterpieces of great realists such as Tolstoy, Stendhal, Dostoevsky, Balzac, Turgenev and Chekhov." After that, she also explored new ways of novels with the help of psychology and science fiction. However, when she entered the late 1980s, her novels such as Diary of Jane Summers (1984) and Good Terrorist (1985) returned to realism again.
