Just the right amount of inspiration mixed with frustration. I'll always be cheering for the Jo-Laurie team though

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the edition of Little Women that I own only contains the first part of the story until I finished the book. I will have to save Good Wives for another time. Little Women is often looked at as a progressive piece of classic literature, and in some ways it is. For one, the book follows the daily lives of four sisters and their mother. All the sisters have their own set of flaws and strengths and no one of the girls is framed as the ideal one. However…a lot of the chapters in Little Women…read a lot like a Christian story lesson??? Right? Or am I the only one that felt that way? I did very light research on Alcott and it sure seems like my interpretation checks out. And while none of the girls are valued more than one another, there is an overwhelming message that women need to refine themselves to become proper. And it doesn’t go challenged as much as I would like. So yes I like that this is a woman-centric story about sisters but I don’t like that I got suckered into reading a 300-page long story from a Christian magazine.
