Little Women is a classic tale written by Louisa May Alcott. The book is about four sisters in the March family, Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth, and follows the struggles their family goes through over the years. The sisters have their own ideas of what women should be seen as. In a time where women have limited jobs and opportunities, they have to find ways to earn money to support their family. The book follows each of their lives as they leave home, and go out into the world trying to make do. I really enjoyed reading the book, and the story it portrays.
The book was recently made into a live action movie, released December 25th, 2019. Last week, we went to watch the movie with our family. I liked the movie. It is set towards the middle of the book, but it goes back every so often to their childhood or the events leading up to the time it is set in. However, if you have not read the book, or do not know the general storyline, I can see how it might be confusing. I really liked the movie and if you have read the book, I definitely recommend seeing it!
