Meg sometimes tries to alter who she is in order to please other people, a trait that es forth when she allows other girls to dress her up like a rich girl at her friend Annie Moffat’s house. She bees an agreeable housewife, pretending to like politics because her husband does, and forgoing luxury because her husband is poor.The four March sisters have totally different character, but they have something in mon: warmhearted, selfrestrained, independent, optimistic, and adoring family. Even though in that era when women were considered that their responsibilities were to serve their children and husbands in their entire lives, and women’s status was much lower than men, the March sisters worked hard and use these action to prove their selfvalues. They longed for work that they must do, as they wanted to keep their social obligation.There are both advantages and disadvantages in the four girls. However, they have been selfrestrained successfully.Being daughter, being sister, being wife, and being mother all these identities are the roles they play in lives. As a daughterSince the civil war broke out and Mr. March joins the army, the circumstance of the March family has gone downhill more and more. They have to adapt themselves to a new life, which is a hard one for them.Due to the family39。 God is male and his most important creation is male. The story stresses the primacy of man and the centrality of his place in the universe, while making it clear that women play a subordinate role. Throughout the Christian period, the story of Eve has provided men with the reason why they should restrain and restrict the social, sexual, religious, political, and economic freedom of women. It has also given men the justification to hold women responsible for all the misfortunes suffered by mankind. All women are like Eve, and their only chance of redemption is to bee a person like the Virgin Mary, another patriarchal fantasy, who represents absolute obedience and purity. The story of Eve and its many misogynistic interpretations have over the centuries defined the image of woman in Western civilization. Weak, subordinate, and obedient these words are the adjectives to describe the traditional image of female. They don’t want to be the representative of these adjectives any more. Under the influences of the male dominated society, females’ status is inhibited and subordinate to men. Therefore, they want to change. The feminist definition of female Since the word “Feminism” appeared first in France in the 1880s, Great Britain in the 1890s, and the United States in 1910, Feminist movement has had more than one hundred years history (Bartkowski, 1989). Females tell their demand through speeches and articles to all over the world and let others hear their voices. “That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mudpuddles, or gives me any best place! And ain39。t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm!

Through working they find their selfvalue and the meaning of paying and gaining. They want to make some efforts to share the responsibility of the family and they do so.The March girls love their parents very much. Even when the four ladies get the money as the Christmas gift given by aunt March, they give up the chance to have their loved things that are wanted very much before. Eventually, they spent the money to buy some gift for their mother, which can make her mother feel warm from body to heart.“Mrs. March was both surprised and touched。 outgoing Jo and quiet Beth both have antisocial tendencies. Neither of them wants to live in the world the way it is, with women forced to conform to social conventions of female behaviors. Similarly, it is not surprising that Meg and Amy are particularly close to each other, since generous Meg and selfish Amy both find their places within a gendered world.Being the youngest March sister, Amy is an artistic beauty who is good at manipulating other people. Unlike Jo, Amy acts as a perfect lady because being a perfect lady pleases her. She gets what she wants in the end: popularity, the trip to Europe, and Laurie. Amy serves as a foil—a character whose attitudes or emotions contrast with, and thereby accentuate, those of another character—for Jo, who refuses to submit to the conventions of lady hood.
