斷掌順娘》重述日據到光復期間，女性在新舊過渡時代的自處差異，藉由書中女性重現當時女性的地位和心態。作者鮮明的形塑出「傳統」與「違逆」的女性，並且利用人物之間的相處、角色自身的心情轉折，加上時代風氣的特有文化，形成這本小說的核心思維。不同身份的女性輾轉感情、家庭與事業等不同領域，她們的形象與命運皆產生不同的轉變。作者融合人物形象與社會背景，塑造出具有不同個性的人物，並引領讀者一一檢視她們的心理歷程。依循《斷掌順娘》所形塑出「傳統」與「違逆」的兩種女性，個別探討其中的人物及其身份和形象的特質，就此解構在彭小妍（1952－）所觀察及詮釋在大時代下女性社會生活與心態。藉由結合人物形象與社會背景共同討論，以瞭解彭小妍撰寫此書所寄寓的女性主題和抉擇。

”Duan Zhang Shun Niang” rewords during the Japanese occupation and the restoration period, female lived in the period of the new and old society. The author used female roles reflect their statuses and mindset at that time. In the story, we could find traditional and treasonable roles. The author described every female roles how to interact with other people. The special social conventions also became the core of this story. Different female roles' images and destinies became ginormous variation when they encountered several situations.

I attempt to seek out the author wants to express the female theme and their choice in this book.
