Louisa May Alcott & Louisa May Alcott 
Little Women [EPUB ebook] 

Little Women ‘has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both.It has 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’.According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children’s fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format.Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the ‘All-American girl’ and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.
