Toni Morrison focuses on the spiritual world of black women in her masterpiece Sula, portraying Sula, Nell and other black women who suffer from subject identity crisis, reflecting on the problem of female subject consciousness and revealing that women's subject consciousness can be re-established through their own efforts. This paper is intended to explore the characteristics of different female characters in the novel and their own stories from the postmodern feminism perspective argued by Hlne Cixous, taking into account the character traits and life experiences of the main female characters in the novel. Taking Sula, Nell and Eva as examples, the analysis of their stories reveals that all these black women have a strong sense of resistance. The awakening of their own subjective consciousness continues throughout their lives, and this is also consistent with the postmodern feminism argued by Hlne Cixous.
