The family lives in a new neighborhood in Massachusetts in genteel poverty. The novel tells the story of four teenaged sisters and their mother, Marmee. Growing up as the Civil War rages, Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy face the challenges and difficulties of life - and, sometimes, each other. Little Women is a semi-autobiographical account of Louisa May Alcotts childhood with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the 'girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.From the time it was written back in 1868, Louisa May Alcott''s Little Women has enchanted young readers, who identify with the realistic and lively personalities of the four March sisters. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with 'woman’s work,” including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War.
