ABSTRACT:Little Women is American woman writer Louisa May Alcott's representative work. This novel is set in the nineteenth century during the American Civil War. Alcott uses simple language and vivid description to depict March sisters’ life stories. It also encourages women to find a better life for themselves and to become strong women. This paper tries to analyze Jo’s character and life experience from feminist ideal, and evaluate Jo’s fate. It will include Jo’s marriage, career and her pursuit of equal social status. Jo is the role who mostly reflects feminist ideal; however, she doesn’t become a completely independent woman writer at last. She adjusts herself and eventually become a “new woman” who lives between tradition and independence.

中文摘要:《小妇人》是十九世纪美国女作家露易莎•梅•奥尔科特的代表作品。这部作品以十九世纪美国内战时期的一个普通的小镇为背景,用简单的语言,生动地描述了马奇家四姐妹的成长历程,给人们带来无限奋斗的力量,尤其激励着美国及世界各地的女性为了开拓美好的生活而努力,成为她们自立自强的动力。本文试图从女性主义的角度,通过分析乔的性格特点和成长历程,评价主人公乔的命运。乔是《小妇人》中最具女性意识的角色,但最终她没能实现成为独立女作家的梦想,而是通过她在理想和现实之间的不断调整,成为了妥协于传统与独立之间的“新女性”。论文将主要从三部分主要分析乔的命运:女性主义追求以爱情为基础的婚姻;独立自主的选择自己的事业和追求与男性平等的地位。
