Rank 68 of 100
Little Women
Synopsis
The four March sisters grow up in a house short of money and long on opinions while their father is away at the Civil War. Alcott lets each girl want a different life — artist, homemaker, writer, fashionable wife — and takes those wants seriously, including the ones the century will not pay for.
