Introduction

LITTLE WOMEN is a novel by American author LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (1832–1888). The novel follows the lives of four sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March – detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. The novel has three major themes: domesticity, work, and true love. All of them are interdependent and each is necessary to the achievement of a heroine’s individual identity. Little Women itself has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both.

"A classic"by Karen H. (see profile) 03/02/10

Little Women is worth reading. The characters and how they grow and change keep you reading. It stimulated a decent amount of discussion as well.

"All-Time Favorite!"by Sarah Ann J. (see profile) 08/12/09

I have read Little Women at least ten times throughout my life. Each time I discover something new to love and learn from. If you haven't read this classic, I highly recommend it!

"Wonderful Book Club read"by Christal F. (see profile) 07/21/09

This book is highly enjoyable to read. There is plenty to discuss here and it is interesting. Due to it's length, we spread it out over 2 months to make it more manageable. It's breaks up nicely.
