Little Women

Meg, Jo, Betsy, and Amy March are sisters—the oldest is sixteen and the youngest is twelve. Each goes through a difficult stage of growing up, sincerely striving to become better. The story of the March sisters describes timeless truths: recognizing one’s duty and justice, loving parents, understanding within the family and friendship, and showing kindness to people.

The book by American writer Louisa May Alcott became the first in the genre of coming-of-age adventure novels for girls.
