"Since its 1868 publication, this has been one of the most beloved works of American fiction. Alcott's novel follows the coming of age of four sisters, under their mother's care while their father serves as a chaplain in the Union Army during the Civil War. This is above all a book of characters: the lovely and sensible eldest sister Meg, the tomboy aspiring writer Jo, the fragile Beth, and the almost-spoiled Amy. Inventive rather than wealthy, the girls delight us with their creative Christmas presents in a time of penury, their secret club with its riotous newspaper, and the friendships they forge with their neighbors, and we grieve with them when tragedy strikes them. Alcott has imagined a family whose caring and pluck makes us love them back."@en

When Beth, the shy sister, emulates her mother by helping the poor but catches scarlet fever from one of her charges, the trails of everyday life reach a climax.

"Generations of people-young and old, male and female-have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott's most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy remain united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the free-thinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman's work," including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl's book" her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America."@en
