Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why It Still Matters by Anne Boyd RiouxISBN: 9780393357271
Publication Date: 2019-08-13
In Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Rioux recounts how Louisa May Alcott came to write Little Women, drawing inspiration for it from her own life. Rioux also examines why this tale of family and community ties, set while the Civil War tore America apart, has resonated through later wars, the Depression, and times of changing opportunities for women. Today, Rioux sees the novel's beating heart in Alcott's portrayal of family resilience and her honest look at the struggles of girls growing into women.
