Despite its temporal limitations, the book remains powerful. Its magic lies in its ability to speak of "the big life issues—love and death, war and peace, ambition and family responsibility—in a way that is both inspiring and realistic." The strength of Jo March, in particular, with her determination not to "starve on praise alone" but to fight for her own independence and vocation, remains a shining and relevant example.
