From childhood mischief to adult responsibilities, the novel paints a warm and deeply human portrait of a close-knit family.
More than just a domestic tale, Little Women is a rich exploration of female ambition, identity, and independence in a society with strict expectations for women.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) föddes och levde i USA. Alcott var dotter till filosofen och fritänkaren Bronson Alcott, som ingick i kretsen av transcendentalister. Fadern var särskilt intresserad av pedagogiska experiment, och Louisa May Alcott ägnade en stor del av sitt liv åt att förverkliga faderns idéer.
Hon är mest känd för sin ungdomsroman Unga kvinnor (Little Women), som senare lett till flera filmatiseringar, men har även skrivit fabler, gotiska berättelser och romaner för vuxna.
