Book excerpt: Annotated by OWFundation with a biography of Louisa May Alcott Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote the books over several months at the request of her publisher.[1][2] Following the lives of the four March sisters--Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy--the novel details their passage from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters.[3][4]:202 Scholars classify Little Women as an autobiographical or semi-autobiographical novel.[5][6]:12Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success with readers demanding to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume (entitled Good Wives in the United Kingdom, although this name originated from the publisher and not from Alcott). It was also successful. The two volumes were issued in 1880 as a single novel entitled Little Women.Alcott wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity."Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.The book has frequently been adapted for stage and screen.

This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer of Louisa May Alcott illuminates the world of Little Women and its author. Since its publication in 1868–69, Little Women, perhaps America’s most beloved children’s classic, has been handed down from mother to daughter for generations. It has been translated into more than fifty languages and inspired six films, four television shows, a Broadway musical, an opera, and a web series. This lavish, four-color edition features over 220 curated illustrations, including stills from the films, stunning art by Norman Rockwell, and iconic illustrations by children’s-book illustrators Alice Barber Stevens, Frank T. Merrill, and Jessie Wilcox Smith. Renowned Alcott scholar John Matteson brings his expertise to the book, to the March family it creates, and to the Alcott family who inspired it all. Through numerous photographs taken in the Alcott family home expressly for this edition—elder daughter Anna’s wedding dress, the Alcott sisters’ theater costumes, sister May’s art, and Abba Alcott’s recipe book—readers discover the extraordinary links between the real and the fictional family. Matteson’s annotations evoke the once-used objects and culture of a distant but still-relevant time, from the horse-drawn carriages to the art Alcott carefully placed in her story to references to persons little known today. His brilliant introductory essays examine Little Women’s pivotal place in children’s literature and tell the story of Alcott herself—a tale every bit as captivating as her fiction.

The letter inspires the girls to bear their burdens more cheerfully and not to complain about their poverty... ABOUT AUTHOR : Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. She and her three sisters Anna, Elizabeth and [Abba] May grew up mainly with their father, the teacher and philosopher A. Bronson Alcott, and were raised in Christianity practically by their mother Abigail May. Louisa spent her childhood in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts. Writing was an early passion for Louisa. She had a rich imagination and her stories often became the basis of melodramas that she and her sisters performed for their friends. Little Women was a phenomenal success practically overnight, mainly due to his timeless story about America's first youth heroine "Jo March", who instead of the idealized stereotype of her own individuality acted as a faulty and free-thinking person of Female Perfection then through to children's literature. In total, Louisa published more than 30 books and collections of stories and poems. Scroll Up and Dive in, Today!
