Synopsis "Little Women (Mint Editions) "

Little Women is the triumphant novel by Louisa May Alcott that has inspired nearly all who've read it. The inspiration for several major motion pictures, miniseries, plays, and more, discover the fantastical adventures set about by the memorable March sisters the world has come to love.Little Women tells the story of the four March sisters as they establish themselves through the various circumstances that life throws their way. There is Margaret "Meg" March, the eldest and commonly referred to as the most beautiful sister; Josephine "Jo" March, the main character of the story as well as the most strong and willful of the four; Elizabeth "Beth" March, the quiet and musical sister; and finally Amy, the youngest and most artistic. Growing up in a modest household, the priority for the March sisters was always to behave; the sisters were told to be kind and give back and to cast aside their own desires for the betterment of others. As the girls grow up however, each of the sisters discover that life doesn't always play by the rules, and sometimes, it just might be better to break them. It's no wonder Little Women is as celebrated today as it was in the 19th century; it is a powerful literary reminder that gender is not what counts when it comes to making a difference in the world.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and after spending some time in Boston, died in Concord, Massachusetts.

The energy and independent spirit she had in her childhood stayed with her throughout her life and led her to take on various jobs to financially support her family. In 1854, she published her first book, Flower Fables, followed by more than thirty novels and story collections. However, her name would always be linked to Little Women, a novel she wrote between May and July 1868 at the request of her publishers.
