Little Women
About This Novel
"Little Women" is a tender coming-of-age novel for women. In the highly-immigrated United States, it has attracted almost all female readers from different national backgrounds and classes, who were deeply touched by this distinctive female image. Like Louisa's other works, this book is based on her childhood memories and has a strong autobiographical flavor. In the story, the author becomes the protagonist, and the other three female characters Meg, Amy and Beth are based on her three sisters. Formally, the novel is closer to a family diary, describing the growth story of the four sisters in the March family in the New England town during the American Civil War, revealing the social changes and cultural inheritance at that time. In the seemingly fresh, simple and slightly trivial female narrative, it is easy to feel the author's meticulous observation and profound thinking on social issues, as well as her strong realistic concern and universal feelings.
