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!
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.
