"Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight. Even the sad, sour sisters should be kindly dealt with, because they have missed the sweetest part of life, if for no other reason."

Little Women was written at Orchard House from May to July 1868. The story is based on the lives of March sisters that are radically different from each other and their passage from childhood to womanhood. They are guided by their mother who raises them alone while her husband is off doing his part in the Civil War. Their love for their mother and father, their love for adventure and for each other unites them in this troubled time. The novel explores timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.

Älskad klassiker av Louisa May Alcott!Systrarna Meg, Jo, Beth och Amy March växer upp i en liten stad i 1860-talets USA. Den äldsta systern Meg är ljuv och vacker men aningens fåfäng. Jo är en livlig flicka som inte låter sig begränsas av det som förväntas av henne. Beth har en mjuk musikalisk själ vars liv präglas av sjukdom och den yngsta systern Amy är lika bortskämd som konstnärlig. Systrarna bor med sin mor, Marmee, och har ont om pengar. Deras far tjänstgör som pastor i det amerikanska inbördeskriget och familjen får klara sig så gott de kan. Vi får följa systrarna Marchs liv i utvecklingen från den tidiga tonåren till unga kvinnor. Systerskaran utgörs av fyra mycket passionerade och självständiga flickor som var och en utmanar sin tids förväntningar och konventioner. Kanske drömmer systrarna om att bli rika och uppvaktade, kanske är det den mer trygga och bevandrade vägen de bör välja, men med sina gamla kläder och små skor till trots tycks systrarna March leva ett långt mycket roligare och tillfredställande liv än de fina damerna omkring dem ..."Unga kvinnor" har filmatiserats ett antal gånger under åren, senast 2019 i regi av den hyllade Greta Gerwig med bland annat Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh och Emma Watson i huvudrollerna. Louisa May Alcott var en amerikansk författarinna, abolitionist och feminist. Under sina verksamma år hann hon skriva böcker för alla åldrar inom diverse genrer, men hon nådde störst framgång med sin semibiografiska roman "Unga Kvinnor". Alcotts slående porträtt av starka, självständiga kvinnor och hjärtesorg gör hennes skildringar lika aktuella då som nu.
