Abstract
"Women's Life" was a very influential women's publication in China during the war of China’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the column of "Mailbox" was an important platform for readers and editors to communicate and interact. Readers write in to seek answers to their confusion, and the editors reply with letters to provide readers with solutions. Through the textual analysis of the content of the letters, we could get a better understanding of the social issues that concerned ordinary readers in the 1930s and 1940s, mainly focusing on marriage, education and career issues, providing us with a window into the details of their lives.
