Little Women

Луїза Мей Олкотт (1832–1888)

"Onder Moeders Vleugels" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel published in 1868-1869. The story follows the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—as they navigate their passage from childhood to womanhood in Civil War-era Massachusetts. Based loosely on Alcott's own family, this coming-of-age tale explores themes of domesticity, work, and love as each sister discovers her individual identity. Through everyday joys and sorrows, the March family faces poverty, separation, and the challenges of growing up during America's most turbulent period.
