People's language and behavior can be greatly influenced by gender differences.Female communication patterns have historically been characterized by tentative expressions and men use nonstandard language and more slang than women.However, with the development of society and the changes of cultural values, gender language develops and the language differences are not static.Women are asked to behave politely and humbly in the past but now they show more confidence.Gender differences in language manifest in many aspects, and literary works are no exception.In Little Women, Louisa May Alcott challenged traditional gender-based linguistic norms to present an independent and self-reliant girl Jo March who is fond of using slang, acts like a boy and treats herself as a boy.Jo uses masculine language and exhibits more male characteristics in communication.Jo 's unique character also reflects the profound exploration of female independence and freedom, and her thoughts and actions become a model for women to pursue self-worth and independent life.
