"The March sisters have grown from little women to young adults. Now that the Civil War has ended, Meg is getting married, Beth still struggles to regain her health, and Jo and Amy are pursing their dreams, encountering love and heartbreak along the way"--

Little Women: The story of the March family whose 4 daughters are growing up in New England in the mid-1800s and of the courage, humor and ingenuity they display to survive poverty and the absence of their father during the Civil War. Good Wives: With love, marriage, sorrow and heartache, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy's journeys into womanhood are as different as the sisters themselves.

"After the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott brought her genius for characterization and eye for detail to a series of revolutionary novels and stories remarkable for their forthright assertion of women's rights. In the largely autobiographical Work: A Story of Experience, twenty-one-year-old orphan, Christie Devon, announces 'a new Declaration of Independence' and pursues economic self-sufficiency through a variety of jobs: servant, actress, governess, companion, and seamstress, among others. Eight Cousins and its sequel, Rose in Bloom, follow the fate of Rose Campbell, another orphan, who with the benefit of a progressive education charts her own course to fulfillment and love. All three novels are presented with art from the original editions and supplemented by seven rare stories and public letters--two restored to print tor the first time in more than a century--as well as notes identifying the many allusions, quotations, and autobiographical episodes."--Publisher's description.

Mujercitas, el clásico de Louisa May Alcott, narra los amores y desventuras de la señora March y sus cuatro maravillosas hijas: Meg, Jo, Beth y Amy. Bajo la capa de aparente ligereza que le otorga su condición de retrato costumbrista y sus aires de manual de modales para jovencitas, Mujercitas es un magnífico canto a la libertad y la alegría de vivir, sobre todo gracias al personaje de Jo, que sirvió de icono para parte del movimiento feminista. Descubre el espíritu revolucionario, activista y formativo de esta gran obra que consiguió crear un universo de mujeres fuertes e independientes que luchan por encontrar su lugar en la sociedad que les tocó vivir.
