Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The novel follows the lives of four sisters-Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March-detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. Little Women has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has also 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.When Little Women was published, it was well received. According to 21st-century critic Barbara Sicherman, during the 19th century, there was a scarcity of models for nontraditional womanhood, which led more women to look toward literature for self-authorization. The book has been adapted for lm twice as silent lms, and four times with sound, in 1933, 1949, 1978 and 1994. Four television series were made, including two in Britain in the 1950s and two anime series in Japan in the 1980s. A musical version opened on Broadway in 2005.In 2003 Little Women was ranked number 18 in The Big Read, a survey of the British public by the BBC to determine the Nation's Best-loved Novel (not children's novel); it is fourth-highest among novels published in the U.S. on that list.This classic title has been published by RADLEY BOOKS.
