"“I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.” Louisa May Alcott’s treasured classic, Little Women, vividly presents the story of four March sisters and their mother, Marmee. The complexities and tribulations faced by these young women, while they are growing up during the American Civil War have been realistically portrayed in the novel. The novel revolves around the personal ambitions of the beautiful Meg, aspiring writer Jo, frail Beth and pampered Amy and chronicles the transformation of its characters from beings young girls to becoming women. Originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, Little Woman was an immediate commercial success and has been widely read and adapted."
