Abstract :
Inequality between women and men has become a serious global issue. It also became a big problem in the 1800s, when women were still considered unworthy of opportunities in various aspects of life such as economic, educational, and social. This research aims to explain the impact of patriarchy on condition of poverty in women through the Little Women (2019) movie. The method used in this research is qualitative, utilizing primary data in the form of scene footage, dialogue, and body language taken from the film. Data collection techniques are taken by watching films, understanding the content and topics, and grouping data into each research object. This research uses two main theories, namely patriarchal theory by Simone de Beauvoir and linguistic theory namely Critical Discourse Analysis by Norman Fairclough, and to strengthen author?s analysis using additional data obtained through static journals. The result of this research show that the existence of deep-rooted patriarchy in society especially in 18th century causes women to be below the poverty line not only in the economic field but also in other fields, such as education and social affairs. In these conditions, the only actor who can change a woman?s fate is the woman herself.
