Some stories don't age — they evolve. Little Women is not just a novel about four sisters; it's about growing up in a world that doesn't wait for anyone. It's about ambition that doesn't always wear boots, kindness that costs everything, and the quiet revolutions that begin around the dinner table. Louisa May Alcott didn't write fairy tales. She wrote what she saw — and what she dreamed could be better. Her heroines don't need rescuing; they make choices, break molds, and leave footprints. You might recognize them. You might be one of them. This is not a story frozen in time.
