Little Women is a novel by American writer Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888). The book was written and set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts. It had been shared in two amounts in 1868 and 1869. The novel comes after the lives of four sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March - which is loosely based on the author's youth encounters with her three sisters. The first amount, Little Women, was an immediate commercial and critical success, prompting the composition of the book's second amount, entitled Good Wives, that was also successful. Both literature were first shared as a single amount entitled Little Women in 1880. Alcott followed Little Women with two sequels, also boasting the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Guys (1886). Little Women was a fiction novel for women that veered from the standard writings for children, especially women, at the time. Little Women has three major styles:" domesticity, work, and real love. All are interdependent and each is necessary to the achievements of any heroine's individual identity. Little Women itself "has been read as a love or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family group dilemma that validates virtue over wealth." Little Women has been read "as a way of escaping that life by women who understood its gender constraints only too well." Alcott "combines many conventions of the sentimental novel with crucial materials of Intimate children's fiction, creating a new form of which Little Women is a unique model." Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first eyesight of the "American Young lady" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters. Little Men, or Life at Plumfield with Jo's Guys is a novel by American writer Louisa May Alcott, first shared in 1871. The novel reprises personas from Little Women and is considered by some the next book of an unofficial Little Women trilogy, which is finished with Alcott's 1886 novel Jo's Guys, and How They Turned Out: A Sequel to "Little Men". Little Men instructs the story of Jo Bhaer and the kids at Plumfield Estate School. The book was encouraged by the death of Alcott's brother-in-law, which reveals itself in one of the last chapters, when a beloved identity from Little Women passes away.
