Shows · Little Women
During the Civil War, the four March sisters - spirited aspiring writer Jo, gentle Meg, shy Beth, and artistic Amy - grow up under the loving guidance of their mother Marmee while their father is away at war. Jo struggles between her fierce independence and desire for literary success and the pull of family and romantic love, navigating the transition from girlhood to womanhood.
