The Little Women - Complete Collection: Little Women, Good Wives, Little Men & Jo's Boys (All 4 Books in One Edition)

The Beloved Classics of American Literature: The coming-of-age series based on the author's own childhood experiences with her three sisters

"Little Women: or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy" (1868), is a semi-autobiographical account of the author's childhood with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Part two, or Part Second, also known as Good Wives (1869), follows the March sisters into adulthood and their respective marriages. Little Men (1871) details Jo's life at the Plumfield School that she founded with her husband Professor Bhaer at the conclusion of Part Two of Little Women. And Jo's Boys (1886) completes the "March Family Saga". Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the Little Women series. Alcott made women's rights integral to her stories, and her fiction became her "most important feminist contribution" — even considering all the efforts Alcott made to help facilitate women's rights during her lifetime.
