From the perspective of gender，combined with relevant literature，this paper analyzes the related concept of women in science popularization contained in the current policies，regulations and academic research in the field of science popularization in China，and examines the main types and basic status of women in science popularization practices in China from the perspectives of women as the main body and the object of science popularization. It is contended that many significant achievements have been made in the cognition and practice of popular science for women in China. However，problems still exist，such as the ambiguous concept of women in science popularization，the insufficient initiative of female groups to participate in popular science activities，and the less attention paid to in-depth issues such as science and gender. Accordingly，more active explorations and reforms should be made at the levels of subsequent policy-making，academic research and practice of science popularization.
