Abstract: Gender does not mean sex, and gender roles are rooted in culture rather than biology. Actually, the equality of men and
women in law does not mean equality in ideologies, cultures and languages. As one of the most controversial novelists in the twentieth
century, D.H. Lawrence's viewpoints on genders have been arousing disputes. Based on his major works in four different periods, and
his philosophical thoughts and life experiences, we can conclude that as a male writer, Lawrence had been pursuing a dominant
position and value of men which were manifested in his ideas and language. That is to say, he did not balance the gender roles of men
and women, and there is still a long way to go for gender equality.
