Doris Lessing is called feminist symbol by women's liberation movement. This novel embodies "the second wave of feminism". The main character of this novel is "Free Women", reflecting the modernity of the late 1950s. They are divorced, lovers, and have a career. They want to live independently and get the same freedom as men do. This personal story is covered by their political participation as Communists. Communism finally failed to create social change, so the next women's rights movement succeeded in transforming society by confusing individuals with politics.

Doris Lessing is mysterious. Once in golden notes, her frontier is liberation of women. In a brief introduction about falling into hell, now in abstract from present and reality she should give another name instead of a novelist, in "remnant of survivors". Calling the future ghost stories ... Surviving memoirs are exceptionally convincing meditations on permanent demand for loyalty, love and responsibility in unprecedented time. Unbearable demand. This is a panic intuition that is also a provisional myth. Asking you to draw a conclusion is to seek too much, even for results. The future is not a theme, it is commitment to Mrs. Lessing. With all the power she has and all the restrictions, she writes a visionary future history - the nightmare she is about to wake up

Doris Lessing stated that the theme of her novel "Golden Notebook" is "fragmentation" and a unified theme. But most of the criticism after the novel is about the publication and writing of the "novel note" even in our era, focusing on frame novels and other topics detailed in the four notes I will. These topics include women's circumstances, relationships between men and women, childbirth, gender, creativity, work, faith, and politics. The status of a female woman is represented by its central figure Anna Wulf. She felt it was impossible to write the only novel that I am interested in, facing the walls of the writings, after the publication of writers' economic independence, at the beginning of the novel "The Front of War" It is the only novel. Leading novels and moral passion are enough to create order and create new ways of seeing life.
