This ending is redress for Alcott, more than a century and a half later. It is an affirmation of the writer’s own life, and a challenge to the notion that romantic love is what ultimately defines a heroine’s journey. Isabella Russell-Ides created two stage adaptations.

Little Women was well received upon first publication. According to 21st-century critic Barbara Sicherman there was, during the 19th century, a "scarcity of models for nontraditional womanhood", which led more women to look toward "literature for self-authorization.

[19] :3 Adult elements of women's fiction in Little Women included "a change of heart necessary" for the female protagonist to evolve in the story.

But this time around, Jo and her sisters aren’t the children in question— their children are.Alcott, Louisa May; Kasson, Joy S. (1994). "Introduction". Work: A Story of Experience.

Much like the characters, I don’t think I fully appreciated Beth’s presence until she was gone. I’d had this part spoiled for me before reading the book, but it didn’t take away from the gut-punching nature of the event. a b c d Author Madison, Charles A. (1974).
