   where [Si+Al] F  is an average total content (wt %) of Si and Al included in the ferrite, and [Si+Al] av  is an average total content (wt %) of Si and Al included in the retained austenite.   
     
     
         2 . The high strength steel sheet of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 one or more of the following (1) to (9):   (1) one or more of Ti: 0 to 0.5%, Nb: 0 to 0.5%, and V: 0 to 0.5%;   (2) one or more of Cr: 0 to 3.0% and Mo: 0 to 3.0%;   (3) one or more of Cu: 0 to 4.5% and Ni: 0 to 4.5%;   (4) B: 0 to 0.005%;   (5) one or more of Ca: 0 to 0.05%, REM: 0 to 0.05% excluding Y, and Mg: 0 to 0.05%;   (6) one or more of W: 0 to 0.5% and Zr: 0 to 0.5%;   (7) one or more of Sb: 0 to 0.5% and Sn: 0 to 0.5%;   (8) one or more of Y: 0 to 0.2% and Hf: 0 to 0.2%; and   (9) Co: 0 to 1.5%.   
     
     
         3 . The high strength steel sheet of  claim 1 ,
 wherein a total content (Si+Al) of Si and Al is 1.0 to 6.0 wt %.   
     
     
         4 . The high strength steel sheet of  claim 1 , wherein a balance B T·E  of tensile strength and elongation expressed by the following [Relational Expression 2] is 22,000 (MPa %) or more, a balance B T·H  of tensile strength and hole expansion ratio expressed by the following [Relational Expression 3] is 7*10 6  (MPa 2 % 1/2 ) or more, and bendability B R  expressed by the following [Relational Expression 4] is 0.5 to 3.0,
     B   T·E =[Tensile Strength(TS, MPa)] 2 *[Elongation(El, %)]   [Relational Expression 2]
