Little Women is
about the lives of four sisters and the friends that surround them. Each sister has her
own personal struggles to overcome and each must find her own path through life. In the
beginning of the story, the girls father is away with the soldiers during the war and
the girls must work to help the family survive without him. Joe works for Aunt March as
her companion. Meg works for the Kings as a governess. Beth is too young to work but she
helps Hannah tend the house while Marmee is out helping the less fortunate. Amy, the
youngest, attends a school for girls. Eventually, Amy leaves the school because the
teacher uses corporal punishment against her in the classroom. She then takes us Joe's
position as Aunt March's companion. She even accompanies Aunt March to Europe for an
extended trip abroad. There, she runs into Laurie, the boy who lives next door that Joe
has already turned down a marriage proposal from. Joe goes to Concord to work in a
boarding house and try her hand as a writer. She returns home to find Beth gravely ill
and her sister Meg, who was the first to marry, pregnant. After the death of Beth and
birth of Meg and John's twins, Amy and Laurie return from Europe to announce their
marriage. The story ends with the engagement of Joe to Professor Bear, a man who
befriended her at the boarding house.
