Little Women
By Louisa May Alcott
Categories: Literature & Fiction
Louisa May Alcott's beloved novel follows the four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, as they grow from girlhood into young women in Massachusetts. Loosely based on Alcott and her own three sisters, it was first published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote it at her publisher's urging, and its warm, lively portrait of family, work, and love made it an immediate success that has been adapted for stage and screen many times.
