Little Women
ByPublisher Description
Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, this enduring novel follows the March sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy-as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, family duty, and personal ambition. Drawing from Louisa May Alcott's own upbringing in 19th-century New England, the narrative offers a poignant portrait of domestic life, sisterhood, and the constraints placed on women in a rapidly changing society.
The story explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and resilience, balancing intimate character development with broader social commentary. With its rich emotional depth and timeless moral insights, this work remains a cornerstone of American literature and a powerful reflection on the journey to womanhood.
