《水浒传》和《隋唐演义》都塑造了很多家喻户晓的女英雄形象，她们在容貌体态、处事风格、爱情婚姻、思想观念和命运结局等方面有很多可以比较之处。同样都是驰骋战场、不让须眉的女英雄，《水浒传》中的女英雄们更多表现出扭曲性和悲剧性的特征，而《隋唐演义》中的女英雄则更有韬略胆识和独立意识。从故事背景和人物阶层、思想文化传统、男权意识影响、作者的女性观等方面可以探究产生异同的原因。

Both The Water Margin and Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties create a series of heroines. There are many aspects to compare, such as appearance and figure, dealing style, love and marriage, value, fortune and ending, and so on. As heroines who are no inferior to men and rides on the battlefield, those in The Water Margin have more masculine tendency and spiritual distortion, nevertheless, those in Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties have more strategies and independent consciousness. The reasons of similarities and differences originate from background and class, ideological tradition, patriarchy, author’s view of women.
