The gender roles regulated by society during the civil war times are one catalyst for the term “little women,” but also the social commentary on class and wealth, which will always be a desired goal no matter the time period. During the 1860’s, each sister becomes a governess in their own way in order to support the family, progressing into womanhood at a quick rate. Though the March sisters grow up under the same intellectual hand, each has various aspirations which diverge difference roads for different women. There’s Beth (my personal favorite), Amy, Meg, and Jo, as we gain unique perspectives on what being a girl-and eventually a women- really means to them. While morals direct many points of this book, I truly understand why Little Women is a passed on classic. The writing may take a moment to get used to, but I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a wholesome read or want to get into classics.
*I usually don’t rate classics but this one felt different:)

- The relationship between the sisters was so cute.
- I loved all of the characters.
- Such a happy book. It gives off similar vibes to Anne of Green Gables
- The plot was quite slow. Every chapter was its own story.
