多元文化教育之精神在於促進人類在種族、族群、階級、性別等各形式平等，而其中如呼吸般與每個人切身相關的「性別」更是本研究關注的焦點。在此乃針對十八世紀末、十九世紀初的英國兩性經典作家Jane Austen(1775-1817)在其小說所呈現的性別進行探究分析。雖然時至今日「性別」的定義已經遠為複雜，竊以為無論性別為何，性別平等的精神是一致的。Austen小說所呈現的性別，還是有可資現代人借鏡學習之處，主因在於Austen是一位具有高度「性別覺察力」的作者，她的小說提供在當時兩性極端不平等的時代，對於男女雙方處境、性別角色、性別差異、兩性關係，獨到與深入的見解。
本研究係採文本分析之概念與方法，針對Austen的三部小說，《傲慢與偏見》、《曼斯菲爾德莊園》、《勸導》的性別呈現做意義上的分析詮釋，以掌握Austen在此三部小說中所呈現的性別意涵。經由確認並加以解析文本內容中，與性別呈現相關之現象、議題、概念與論述，得以歸納小說性別意涵主要涵蓋對於Austen時代父權體制（如女性在階級、財產上的無自主性等），與父權價值觀（如女人為弱者等觀念）所造成，並惡化性別不平等現象的批判，以及為改善當時性別不平等現象所提倡的觀念，如「以愛為基礎」的婚姻觀取代「以金錢為主」的婚姻觀。
此研究並進一步依文本寫作時間的先後，就此三部小說個別呈現之性別意涵做比較、分析、歸納，以發現隨著時間，Austen小說性別概念的變化，以掌握Austen在此三部小說所呈現的性別概念發展，並據此論證此三部小說所反映之整體性別概念。經研究發現，Austen三部小說所呈現之性別概念，確實有其脈絡與整體相關性。對於一些關鍵性的與性別呈現相關之現象、議題、概念與論述確實會持續探討，並隨著時間深化與廣化。經歸納，就其整體性別概念而言，可說是以兩性平等精神為主之「婚姻意義重構」概念，以及超越性別意識形態之兩性相處觀念。

The spirit of multiple cultural education is to promote every form of equality in the aspects of race, ethnicity, class and gender etc. Among them “gender,” which concerns everyone like breathing is especially the focus of the research. This research aims to analyze and investigate the presented gender in the novels of a world-renowned classic English writer, Jane Austen (1775-1817). As an author with high gender awareness, living in an era of extreme gender inequality, she has provided the later generations a deep and unique insight into the general situations of men and women, gender (sex) roles, gender differences, relationships between men and women. Hopefully, we can learn some important lessons from Austen’s gender concepts reflected in her various novels.
This research adopts the concepts and method of text analysis, and focuses on the interpretation and analysis of the gender contents of Austen’s three novels, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, and Persuasion, and the meaning of the gender contents is thus grasped. By collecting, confirming, interpreting and analyzing the gender presented contents, i.e. the gender related phenomena, topics, concepts and discourses from the three novels, we can induce that the gender contents and their meaning are mainly related to a criticism of the customs of patriarchy (such as primogeniture) and of the system of values of patriarchy (such as the concept of women being weak), which is considered being responsible for creating and worsening the situation of gender inequality at that time. Besides, the gender contents and their meaning are also related to providing useful gender concepts and better ways for men and women to get along well in order to improve the situation of gender inequality.
Furthermore, according to the times the three novels are written, the gender contents presented in each novel are thus compared, induced to trace the variations of the gender concepts in three novels, and to grasp the whole gender concepts as reflected in the novels. From my studies, I discovered, even though, Austen writes the three novels in very different time periods, there is an obvious thread connecting the gender concepts of each individual novel and a lot of important gender related phenomenon, topics, concepts and discourses from the individual novels are the same unless discussed in a deeper or wider way. In summary, Austen’s gender concepts are centered on the “reconstruction of marriage meaning based on the core concept of gender equality,” and on encouraging men and women to interact in a way beyond gender ideology.
