Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May Alcott and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many well-known intellectuals of the day, including Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Alcott's family suffered from financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used pen names such as A.M. Barnard, under which she wrote lurid short stories and sensation novels for adults that focused on passion and revenge.
Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts, and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters, Abigail May Alcott Nieriker, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott, and Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt. The novel was well-received at the time and is still popular today among both children and adults. It has been adapted for stage plays, films, and television many times.
Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She also spent her life active in reform movements such as temperance and women's suffrage. She died from a stroke in Boston on March 6, 1888, just two days after her father's death.

Estaba dudando si ponerle un 3 o un 4. Creo que aunque es bastante encantador cogerle cariño a los personajes, se me estaba haciendo un poco largo. Es también un libro que hay que dejar enmarcado en la época, porque a veces me hacía sentir mal muchas creencias que hay plasmadas que proceden del machismo de la época, como el lugar donde se espera que debe estar una mujer. Tal vez eso sea también positivo porque leído desde ahora se puede ver mucho avance y valorar lo que pueden tener nuestras, amigas, madres y hermanas en la actualidad. Por otro lado, es un libro que muestra evolución de los personajes y eso siempre me parece a valorar, aunque puede que en el caso de Jo (la mejor pero muy por encima) el cambio haya sido demasiado rápido y repentino. Tampoco sé si me acaba de gustar su elección, pero bueno, sigue teniendo su aquel.
Como matemáticamente el redondeo de 3,5 es un 4, pues ahí van.

no m suele molar que un libro pegue la turra con moralejas, mucho menos si hay trasfondo cristiano y un sesgo de género tan jarto pero chica qué esperas si te lees Mujercitas. he disfrutado todas y cada una de las páginas y mira que son muchas. el que haya elegido a timothee chalamet para laurie en la adaptación que se muera

Un clásico que no decepciona

La historia de estas hermanas y las lecciones que te enseñan a lo largo de su vida me han parecido entrañables. Un libro que me ha encantado y que me ha dejado muy buenas sensaciones cada vez que lo cerraba.
Cometí el error de ver la película después y la verdad, considero que no le hace justicia.
Pero es un clásico que recomiendo.
