[Objective] This paper proposes a new method to indentify the gender of Chinese microblog author with the help of dependency features.

[Results] A controlled experiment showed that the proposed method obtained the highest values of precision, recall and F-measure. [Limitations] The new method needs to be examined with larger corpus. [Conclusions] The proposed method is the most effective way to identify the gender of microblog author.
