Little Women

HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.

Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.

Meg longs for marriage; Amy wants to be a painter; Beth is content to stay at home; Jo wants adventure and a life without limits. Four decidedly different sisters, growing up during the American Civil War, each face their own unique challenge. Little Women tells the story of the March sisters. Through parties, travel, illness, arguments, dinners, love affairs and ice-skating escapades, we follow these unforgettable women as they come of age.

First published over 150 years ago, Little Women is a quintessential American classic that has become a stage and screen favourite ever since, capturing the hearts of millions of readers across the world.
