Written in 1868, Little Women follows the heartfelt story of the four March sisters as they navigate the passage from child to womanhood during the US Civil War. The poignant tale draws loosely on Alcott’s own life experiences as outspoken writer Jo, beautiful Meg, artistic Amy, and shy Beth try to balance personal ambitions and family responsibilities to become successful young women, drawing comfort from shared memories of growing up together. With genuine, complex characters that are only accentuated by their flaws, it’s difficult not to fall in love with the March sisters and their undeniable bond in this uplifting statement of literature.
