“Little Women” is a coming-of-age novel written by Louisa May Alcott, originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 18691. The story follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—and details their passage from childhood to womanhood.
Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the novel explores themes of love, family, sacrifice, and the pursuit of ambitions. Each sister represents a distinct personality, and Alcott skillfully weaves their stories together, providing a nuanced portrait of womanhood in the 19th century.
This book is delightfully illustrated with 8 color plates and many B/W illustrations by Tasha Tudor.
