My Little Women Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott. The novel follows the lives of four sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March – and is loosely based on the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters. It is a coming-of-age story about family love, loss, and struggle set in mid-nineteenth-century New England. The young woman at its center, Jo March who is my favourite character in it, is a fictional character based on the author Louisa Alcott. Jo March is bold, outspoken, brave, daring, loyal, cranky, principled, and real. She is a dreamer and a scribbler, happiest at her woodsy hideout by an old cartwheel or holed up in the attic, absorbed in reading or writing, filling page after page with stories or plays. She loves to invent wild escapades, to stage and star in flamboyant dramas. She loves to run. She wishes she were a boy, for all the right reasons: to speak her mind, go where she pleases, learn what she wants to know — in other words, to be free.. Her other sisters, Meg is the oldest sister. She is considered the beauty of the March household and she is well-mannered. Thirteen years old when the novel opens, Beth is a quiet, kind girl, and a pianist. She enjoys taking care of her dolls. The youngest sisters—age twelve when the story begins—Amy is interested in art. The girls in March family teach me to be fortitudinous and content with my possession but never content. They tell me to be strong and in a pure heart. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/b87b15bc59fb770bf78a6529647d27284b73379c.html
