How 'Little Women' stars Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh give Greta Gerwig's vision life

when Gerwig was putting together “Little Women,” and put herself on tape at the director’s request.

Both of them are masculine. Jo wants to be a boy, and Amy performs femininity because it’s expedient for them to get what they want.”

​"It was the most helpful reference point for me,” Ronan says. “It talks a lot about Louisa’s dad and how he never went out and earned any money. When she started to do well, he was always very, very hard on her. He was great with the other girls but not with her, I think because she was sort of this asexual or bisexual tomboy girl who wrote about murderers.

“At first we were like, ‘Oh, God, she’s not going to be here,’ and it felt like we all needed to be together,” says Ronan. “But actually, you said it when you got there, Flo — Amy is sort of going on her own path. Amy and Jo are quite similar, actually, in that Jo’s like ‘I’m going to do this thing.’ And Amy’s, like, '[Screw] you, I’m going to do this thing.’ They want different things, but they’re both very defiant in spirit.
