Good Wives
by Louisa May Alcott
This is an interesting look into the era in which it was written. Reading it now does make it seem to be anti-feminist, and I suppose in a way it is, but in saying that, it is a snapshot of female life during the 1860s. I can't say I agree with [a:Louisa May Alcott|1315|Louisa May Alcott|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1200326665p2/1315.jpg]'s vision, but hell, I can't say I agree with a lot of literature written and published in 1869.
Something I've noticed is that this book and [b:Anne of Green Gables|8127|Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1)|L.M. Montgomery|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309203168s/8127.jpg|3464264] have a similar style. While the book does flow well, each chapter is like its own mini-story. Like [b:It's Raining In Mango|1670400|It's Raining In Mango|Thea Astley|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186620841s/1670400.jpg|1665362].
Anyway, moving on. I feel like Meg and Beth didn't get much of a feature in this book. Meg has babies, babies cry, and she has to be a devoted simpleton to John. Beth dies. Meanwhile, Jo and Amy go galavanting about, and Laurie ends up shagging the younger sister because he can't stick it in the older. Wait, that's what happened, right?
