Features & Highlights

  • LITTLE WOMEN is a novel by American author LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (1832–1888). The novel follows the lives of four sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March – detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. The novel has three major themes: domesticity, work, and true love. All of them are interdependent and each is necessary to the achievement of a heroine’s individual identity. Little Women itself has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both.

Never too old!

I had never read Little Women, but saw the play at Theatreworks in Palo Alto and was so impressed I decided to buy the book.
I enjoyed the connection with the past culture and mores. Humorous incidents abound and the syntax of the vocabulary was delightful. Am actually glad to never read it as a child!
