The four March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – live in financial hardship in New England with their mother, while their father has been drafted to fight in the Civil War. The girls embark on a series of adventures and endure a number of unexpected misfortunes – experiences that allow their personalities to emerge: Meg, sensible and outgoing; Jo, literary and boyish; Beth, musical and shy; and Amy, artistic and selfish. Despite these challenges, the bonds holding together the March family remain unbroken.

Initially written as a novel for girls, Little Women is now regarded as an all-time American classic for all readers. It has inspired generations of women writers and given rise to many adaptations.
