Little Women
Overview & Summary
The four March sisters -- ambitious writer Jo, gentle Beth, artistic Amy, and eldest Meg -- come of age in Civil War-era Massachusetts while their father is away at war, navigating poverty, first loves, personal ambitions, and loss with their mother's steady guidance. Louisa May Alcott's 1868 novel, drawing on her own family's life, remains one of the most beloved American novels about sisterhood and growing up.
