The paper is based on the analysis of female characters in a children's novel from the field of children's literature. Female identity is explored in the language through the discourse of children's literature and through the introduction of the theory of novels. In addition to analyse the identity of the girls characterized in the novels, the study included interpretative features from a psychoanalytic, anthropological and linguistic aspect. The novels are chosen by subjective and personal choice of the author, and they have become the main focus of mythical, psychoanalytic and literary-artistic problematization of certain stages of growing up and maturing. In search of identity, girls are prominent on the threshold of existence and awareness of their own image of themselves. The heroins are represented through the realistic and fantastic writing, conscious and unconscious stages, and the author’s metaphorical design of a personal identity. Through the prism of the heroine, Dorothy and Alisa, dreams are presented as a symbolic interpretations of real occurrences and the mirroring of real childhood problems. By autobiographical reminiscence of childhood, from Jagoda Truhelka, the interpretation of Anica was presented through the influence of time and vivid environment that shaped her personality. At the threshold of emotional isolation and alienation, Mary reveals the secrets of her own transformation and the beauty of life that has a painful sign in the interpretative segment of the world's ignorance and the weight of childhood, while modesty, existential problems and identification process systematically breaks through the story of four sisters, Little Women.
