Little Women
The Little Women series by Louisa May Alcott follows the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—from their girlhood during the Civil War through adulthood, exploring love, loss, ambition, and family bonds. Across the sequels (Good Wives, Little Men, and Jo’s Boys), the story expands to show Jo’s life as a writer and teacher, the sisters’ marriages and struggles, and the next generation of children whose lives are shaped by the values of kindness, education, and perseverance.
