Little Women is a timeless tale that deserves to be passed down to the next generation. Set in nineteenth-century America, it tells the story of four spirited sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March, who navigate the challenges and joys of growing up in a time of war, financial hardship, and societal change.
The novel was first published in 1868 and quickly became a best seller, inspiring three sequels: Good Wives, Little Men, and Jos Boys. It was based on the author's own early life, and her father, a reformist and abolitionist, played a significant role in shaping her literary career. Louisa May Alcott was able to meet with influential figures such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and other prominent authors, who influenced her writing.
