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!
