Leo Tolstoy's work, 'Little Girls Wiser Than Men', is a pertinent exploration of the ways in which traditional gender roles and expectations are challenged by an unfolding narrative. Through his use of satire and irony, the text confronts societal values associated with the subjugation of women within patriarchal systems. By critiquing prescribed gender norms, Tolstoy invites the reader to reflect upon the capacity for female characters to transcend their imposed limitations through acts of individual autonomy.
