Abstract: A female member of a snap fastener comprising a holding part to be retained on material and a fitting part provided with a through-hole substantially at its center for closely contacting a fitting head of a male body of the snap fastener. The holding part includes an upper edge inclined to accept the fitting head of the male body and is molded with an elastic synthetic resin in one unit. Since the fitting convex part is inclined in the direction for receiving the fitting head of the male body, it is easy for the fitting head of the male body to slip into the through-hole when inserting the fitting head of the male body, thereby facilitating engagement.
