American writer Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) based her fictional March family and their home on her own childhood in Concord, Massachusetts. An instant success, Little Women has often been adapted for stage and screen. More than 150 years after its initial publication in 1868, Alcott's novel continues to invite reflection and reimagination from modern readers.

Riveting classic, one of my favorite quotes, "I should've been a great many things Mr. Mayor." Sisterhood, family, love, friendship, and loss. This book is lovely.

I enjoyed reading this in my youth and again as an adult - definitely a beloved read! I do think that the story explores interesting and pertinent themes related to gender, femininity, social mobility and societal expectations as well as personal growth, development, virtuosity and resilience. The fact that this was not a story/novel that Alcott intended to write is also super interesting but I am so glad that it was encouraged and indeed published!
