Mujercitas / Little Women | Louisa May Alcott
Mujercitas, el clasico de Louisa May Alcott ambientado en la guerra de Secesion, fue publicado en Estados Unidos en 1868. Han pasado casi ciento cincuenta anos desde entonces, pero la complicidad de las cuatro hermanas March, quienes a traves de sus gestos y palabras resumen el espiritu critico de una epoca, sigue siendo fuente de inspiracion y disfrute para las generaciones de lectores que se asoman a las paginas de esta fascinante obra. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (18321888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote the books rapidly over several months at the request of her publisher. The novel follows the lives of four sistersMeg, Jo, Beth, and Amy Marchdetailing their passage from childhood to womanhood, and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters. Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success, and readers demanded to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume, entitled Good Wives. It was also successful. The two volumes were issued in 1880 in a single work entitled Little Women. Alcott also wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity." 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."

I love this book. I read parts of it aloud to my newborn daughter and I can only hope that she is as kind as Beth, as gentle as Meg, as creative as Amy, and as adventurous as Jo. 🤍

On our international flight, I finally got the chance to watch the new Little Women adaptation. It was amazing as promised. I loved the way it was set up, flashing between timelines. And the ending was perfect, how Jo's storyline was wrapped up!

Over the weekend I was in Chicago and went to the American Writer‘s Museum. It was a nice little museum full of notable American authors!

In the children‘s area they highlighted children authors. Here‘s the Louisa May Alcott panel and Little Women book.

TheBookHippie I love it there. They have cool exhibits come often. 2mo
BennettBookworm Wow, lived in Chicago for years and somehow never heard of that! Next time I visit I‘ll have to check it out 2mo
mcctrish What a great museum 🤯 2mo
CrowCAH @TheBookHippie @mcctrish I agree, I enjoyed the couple of hours I spent there! Definitely worth another visit! 2mo
CrowCAH @BennettBookworm for sure! I enjoyed the interactive panels and areas for me to try my hand at writing a story. Hopefully you get a chance to visit! 2mo

I'm behind for my #classicschallenge2024 as Little Women was March's book, but better late than never. This edition was passed onto me from my cousin though I don't remember when.

kspenmoll It looks like an old edition! When was it published? 7mo
Born.A.Reader @kspenmoll 1962. My cousin, who's several years older than me had it for a while before the passed it down to me. 7mo

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

My sister and I (I just have the 1 sister) both have my mother‘s last name as our middle name. Some of the kids we grew up alongside also have their mother‘s last name as their middle name (I guess there was a mini fad for that with feminists in the 80s), so I was in grade school before I realized that‘s not what all middle names were 😂

Little Women is still my favorite happy family story 💗

Eggs I think that‘s a lovely idea using mom‘s maiden name💙 10mo
IndoorDame @Eggs I do too. She kept her name, so wanted us to share her name as well, but I guess she thought hyphenated last names would be overly complicated for us. 10mo

This book is so heartwarming and a great reminder of the important things in life. I love the authors ability to paint such a vivid picture of every characters personality and how although very different are all very much alike. Sisterhood, family, love, humility, honesty, respect, admiration, are all very present throughout to display the importance of kindness and grace. No questions asked on why this book is considered a classic novel.

Marmee, one of the best mothers in literature. Love the book, love the movies. I am most fond of this 1994 version. The music, original score by Thomas Newman, is fantastic.

I have watched both the 2019 (top) and the 1994 (bottom). Personally I like the 1994 version much more than the 2019 version for a number of reasons, including that the 1994 version cast Laurie better than the 2019 version. So of these two versions, which do you like better? #littlewomen #movieadaptations

Scochrane26 I‘ve only seen the recent one, somehow never watched the 1994 one. 3y

Finished Little Women for a book club last month. Had such a great discussion. I definitely thought I‘d read this as a young adult, but I‘m fairly certain I had only watched the movie version 🙊 I‘m glad I read this, but it was dense. The poems and newsletter, I could have done without. Overall 4⭐️

1. Hanging out with Jo and the sisters would be a fun way to quarantine. Dressing up, reading, playing music in that place and time.
2. Taking walks even on these cold days. Listening to a book podcast, or music or just thinking.
3 Under the Tuscan Sun was a good escape. Read that one a few years ago.

1. I have a few! The 1994 version of “Little Women” with Winona Ryder. I just adore Jo March and my daughter Josephine is named for her. Another great one is “Misery.” Kathy Bates is simply phenomenal in it!

2. I would love to see “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” on the big screen. It would have beautiful cinematography and would be a tear-jerker. I love crying from movies. Haha.

I don't usually read classics, they never normally live up to the reviews. This one was an exception, beautifully written. I really enjoyed it and this edition is wonderful!
