Men and women use language differently when they are communicating. The differences in the language use by women and men are related to their gender. Women have their own language features that differentiate them from men. This study aimed to identify the types and functions of women’s language features and explain the implications of this study for students’ reading literacy. The data used in this research were the dialogues between Emma Watson and Rupi Kaur in an interview video that was taken from Our Shared Shelf YouTube channel. This research used a qualitative content analysis design. The data were analyzed by using Lakoff’s theory (2004) for types and functions of women’s language features. The results showed that there were eight out of ten types of women’s language features proposed by Lakoff used by Emma Watson and Rupi Kaur, consisting of 119 hedges or fillers, 17 rising intonations in declaratives, 2 empty adjectives, 133 intensifiers, 205 hypercorrect grammar, 16 super polite forms, 1 avoidance of strong swear word, and 94 emphatic stress. However, there were no tag questions and precise color terms. All five functions of women’s language features were also found in this study, consisting of 74 data of showing uncertainty, 227 data of emphasizing utterances, 283 data of softening certain expressions, 2 data of expressing feeling or opinion, and 1 datum of the intention of getting response. Furthermore, this research gives contributions to students’ reading literacy as a reading material to give more understanding and broaden students’ knowledge about the topic of language and gender and women’s language features, and as a reference for students whose purpose is to get references for writing academic writing related to language and gender, especially about women’s language features.
