Synopsis "Little Women"

Little Women is a beautiful and moving story about four loving sisters. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are not from a very well-to-do family and their father is away fighting the Civil War, but the four have the strongest bond and this is enough to ensure each other is happy. Little Women differed notably from the other writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity." Written by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), Little women was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869 and became an immediate commercial success.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and after spending some time in Boston, died in Concord, Massachusetts.

The energy and independent spirit she had in her childhood stayed with her throughout her life and led her to take on various jobs to financially support her family. In 1854, she published her first book, Flower Fables, followed by more than thirty novels and story collections. However, her name would always be linked to Little Women, a novel she wrote between May and July 1868 at the request of her publishers.
