Representation of Feminism in the Movie Little Woman 2019

---

This research explores the representation of feminism in Greta Gerwig's
2019 film adaptation of Little Women. The study aims to address two main
research questions: How is feminism portrayed in the movie, and which feminist
values are conveyed? By focusing on these questions, the research seeks to fill a
gap in existing studies that have often overlooked this particular adaptation's
feminist dimensions. The ground for theoretical framework is Roland Barthes'
semiotic theory, allowing the researcher to analysis of the film's denotative
elements related to gender roles and feminist themes.
The research uses a qualitative content analysis method, which involves
looking closely at different parts of the film to understand its feminist messages.
The analysis is done step by step, starting with identifying key scenes and
characters that represent feminist themes, then sorting them into four types of
feminism: Liberal, Marxist, Radical, and Cultural. Liberal feminism appears in Jo
March's fight for economic independence and equal rights, while Marxist
feminism is seen in the film's criticism of how capitalism affects women,
especially through Aunt March's practical views on money. Radical feminism is
shown in the film‘s challenge to traditional male-dominated ideas, such as through
Mr. Dashwood's character, while Cultural feminism is represented by Amy's
appreciation of women's unique talents.
The findings indicate that Gerwig's adaptation not only captures Louisa
May Alcott's feminist ideals but also aligns with contemporary feminist issues by
addressing ongoing struggles for gender equality. The study concludes by
emphasizing the film's contribution to feminist discourse, suggesting that future
research should consider broader cultural contexts and other adaptations of classic
literature to deepen the understanding of feminist representation in cinema. This
research provides valuable insights for scholars, filmmakers, and audiences
interested in feminist film analysis and the adaptation of literary works
