All of them are interdependent and each is necessary to the achievement of a heroine’s individual identity.” Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth.” Little Women has been read “as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well.”
