The sources of the data in this research were the scene and the dialogue of Mulan movie. The data collected by using documentary method and analyzed by using content analysis method based on Lakoff’s theory of women’s language features (1975) which consist of hypercorrect grammar, superpolite form, avoidance of strong swear words, lexical hedges or fillers, tag questions, rising intonation on declaratives, empty adjectives, intensifiers, emphatic stress, and precise color terms. The result of this study showed that there were seven kinds of women’s language features found in the utterances of Hua Mulan or Hua Jun.
