Little Women the novel was written by American author Louisa May Alcott. The book was written and set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts. The book was first published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The novel follows the lives of four sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. The book has been said to be loosely based on the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters. When the book was released it was an immediate commercial and critical success, prompting the composition of the book's second volume titled Good Wives, which was successful as well. Little Women has been adapted as a play, musical, opera, film, and animation. Little Women is a classic and warm tale of a family, with the trials and tribulations that come with having a house full of girls. The story is set around the lives of the four sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. Jo, the second eldest is the main character, she is outspoken and has a passion for writing. Meg being the oldest, she is considered the beauty of the March household and she is well-mannered, then there is Beth, a very shy and quite girl who likes to avoid any attention. Amy being the youngest is very selfish but Amy is a beautiful young girl with bold hair and blue eyes. The sister set out on their journey of life and growing up, with age there come boundaries and responsibilities. The tale of Little Women is an all encompassing story about the life of an average family, who share happy and joyous moments, but also some unhappy and dark times together. Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist who was a feminist and a human rights activist. Alcott's poverty stricken life made it necessary for her to work at an early age as an occasional teacher, seamstress, governess, domestic helper, and writer. This is where she wrote her first book Flower Fables in 1849; her talent for writing was obvious from a young age. Louisa was surrounded by writers and educators when she was a girl, and received majority of her schooling from her father, who was a noted transcendentalist and educator. Louisa May Alcott most notable work is the novel Little Women, a story to be read by readers for decades to come.
