	Little Women - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Little Women is a novel by Louisa May Alcott published on September 30, 1868, concerning the lives and loves of four sisters growing up during the American Civil War.
		Most of the flaws are in check for a time after lessons are learned, but even as young women the girls must work out these flaws in order to become archetypical mothers, wives, sisters, and citizens.
		Saban Entertainment produced an English dubbed version (Tales of Little Women) which aired on HBO in the United States in 1990, and the series has also achieved immense popularity in Europe (Una per tutte, tutte per una in Italy, Les quatre filles du Docteur March in France).

	Little Women, Mark Adamo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		[Little Women] is a remarkable achievement, especially considering the dilemma of the modern opera composer: to write memorable "tunes" and be branded a hopeless reactionary, or to toe the postmodernist line and "reinvent" opera, inevitably alienating the majority of your audience.
		In his opera [Little Women] based on the 1858 novel, Mark Adamo liberates the quartet of adolescents, distilling from their lives a perspective relevant to today....There is something poignantly Straussian in Jo's desire that time might have a stop.
		Little Women has stumbled upon a disarmingly simple truth: Just because opera is grand doesn't mean it has to be self-important.

	Louisa May Alcott and the Roles of a Lifetime: Chapter Four, Little Women
		Little Women (1868) teaches us not only what blancmange is good for, and what to do when pickled limes are all the rage, but also, and most importantly, what it means to be a little woman in a society that prizes certain very rigidly defined sorts of behavior.
		In her introduction to Little Women, Douglas emphatically declares, "Jo is Alcott herself, and the constrictions on Jo as a character and an author in the family journal form were Louisa's as a woman, a writer, an Alcott, a citizen of 'poky' Concord, and an American" (xvi).
		This lesson, that women are most valuable in their absence, is the one that is generally the most problematic to 1990s readers, but is one that would be most inspiring to someone who believed that a woman's highest duty was to be a good moral influence on others.

	BBC - Radio 4 - Woman's Hour -Little Women (1869) by Louisa May Alcott
		I was read Little women by my Great Aunt Mary and have reread it many times since, totally identifying with headstrong, flawed Jo, always trying to do her best and finding true love in the end.
		Little Women is such a wonderful family story and Jo was my hero, independent, creative but brave and fearless too.
		I still re-read Little women and its wise teachings on bringing up daughters in a materialistic world is as relevant today as when it was written in the 19th century.

		Though researchers have confirmed little girls are indeed growing up faster, they still have been unable to concretely explain why this is happening.
		Yet she is also worried that in addition to forced attention from older men, young women are being force-fed sexual material in the media that they often model in their own lives for lack of a better example.

	MMI Review: Little Women (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The title alone suggests demureness and docility, two characteristics which were absolutely antithetical to its author, Louisa May Alcott, a strong woman of the nineteenth century who was determined to make her living, not as a servant or as a seamstress, but as a writer.
		It has been reported that the author found "Little Women" a bore to write and that the values in the book belong to her educator father and not to herself, but she did achieve her dream of making her living as a writer.
		In the latest version of "Little Women", dedicated to the memory of Polly Klaas, Winona Ryder makes a delightful Jo March for 90's audiences & she is well supported by Gabriel Byrne in one of his best performances as Professor Bhaer.

	Little Women, a CurtainUp review
		Little Women, the musical, might best be described as a comfort food show, with nostalgic pleasures that transcend any critical evaluation.
		For women who cut their novel reading teeth on the semi-autobiographical novel, the new musical will provide a chance to introduce Jo March and her three sisters to young daughters and granddaughters.
		With just ten actors and a dozen musicians in the pit Little Women is a chamber musical but with all the elements of a big show: a Tony-winning star, a director with prime Broadway show credentials, a top caliber creative team and the usual multi-million capitalization.

	Parent Previews: Little Women
		Little Women is the latest of many screen interpretations of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott about a family of four girls and their mother during the Civil War.
		However, what makes Little Women a little unusual is the lack of the trite introductory scenes most films offer that allow the audience to get to know the players.
		The downfall to this is that a viewer who wants to enjoy Little Women to its fullest must be prepared to watch and observe the characters closely.

	Review: Little Women (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As faithful to the original story as a two-hour production is likely to be, Little Women is in ways similar and dissimilar to its two cinematic predecessors (released in 1933 and 1949).
		This tale of four independent sisters of differing temperaments is undeniably melodramatic, but it's very good melodrama, with an accumulation of vitality and charm that elevates the movie to an unexpectedly high level.
		Nevertheless, the tale is engrossing enough, and the film put together with such obvious affection, that it's not hard to dismiss those things as necessary elements of a beloved period piece.

	Little Women and Wicked Women: Louisa May Alcott Etexts
		Though the bulk of her fame rests squarely on Little Women, her tenderly crafted autobiographical novel about the unforgettable domestic quartet of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March, Louisa May Alcott wrote in several other genres, including thrillers and dark tales of passion, romance, and high adventure.
		In addition to the so-called Little Women series, a selection of fables, a novel based on her Civil War nursing experience, and reminiscences of her childhood, you will also find such startling stories as "Pauline's Passion and Punishment," "Behind a Mask," and "Perilous Play," often written pseudonymously and featuring a bevy of decidedly nondocile heroines.
