Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is a realistic fiction novel loosely based on Alcott’s real life. It follows four young sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy on their journey from childhood to womanhood. They all have different aspirations and goals, and this book is a beautiful representation of the many facets of being a woman and just how complicated it can be. For one, Meg’s dream is to get married and have children. Whereas Jo longs to be a well-known writer and share her ideas with the world. Then there is Beth who dreams of playing piano for hundreds of people at a time. Finally, Amy wishes to become one of the best painters in the world. I give this book four stars because I love it and it is an all-time classic. I love how each girl explores different complexities of being a woman and that you get to grow with them as the book goes on. It’s also really interesting to read about the different perspectives on love and life portrayed through the eyes of the different sisters. This is a great book for anyone, but especially young women who are trying to figure out who they are.
