LITTLE WOMEN

In her classic 1868 novel about love, family and woman hood Louisa May Alcott tells the story of the March family, a mother and four daughters growing up in new England during the Civil War. The film, like the book relates the drama and adventures of Mrs March’s four ‘little women’ - spirited Jo, beautiful Meg, fragile Beth and romantic Amy - and serves as a glowing depiction of 19th Century family life and a tribute to family strength and feminine independence.
