A restless tomboy with a wild imagination, Jo March bridles against
societal conventions. She has no interest in becoming a lady; she will
become a writer. Fortunately for Jo, her family supports her ambitions
and understands her eccentricities. With their father serving as a
chaplain in the Union Army and little money coming in, Jo and her three
sisters work hard to help their mother keep the household afloat.
Immensely popular from the day it was published, Little Women struck a

can pursue their dreams freely without compromising their values.
