Other editions of book Good Wives

Louisa‘s awe-inspiring fame began from the moment it appeared in the first series of Little Women: or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, partly a life story of her younger days with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. The second part is also entitled as Good Wives, then March sisters into adulthood and their own weddings came after. Louisa May Alcott was part of the Abolitionism in the United States, a movement in the American Civil War to end slavery in the country and associated with feminism, a range of political and social movement with the main objective to attain and carry out political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. Louisa May Alcott was a US writer and poet well known as the writer of the story Little Women and its series Little Men and Jo's Boys . Nurtured by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she was also raised by the several renowned highbrows of those times including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Louisa’s family went impoverished, and at the moment she took a job to provide sustenance for her family at a very young age, she also found an interest in composing novels and poetry. She started to earn significant fame for her works in the 1860s. In her first years as a writer, she would at times made use of the pseudonym A. M. Barnard, upon which she created stories for teenagers. Little Women is situated in the Alcott family house, Hillside, afterwards referred as the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is roughly sourced out on her life as a child together with her three sisters. The story was much recognized and remains to be a famous kiddie story until now, shown into the big screen for so many times.

Good Wives continues the story of the Little Women, the March sisters Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, as they approach womanhood. Meg longs to begin her new life with John Brook, though they can never be rich; Jo returns to devote herself to literature, and to Beth, whose illness has left her weak but whose serenity shines through the household; and Amy has gone to Aunt March, bribed with the offer of drawing lessons. Laurie remains irrepressible, with his high spirits and sense of fun, though his pursuit of Jo’s affections seems unlikely to succeed…

Excerpt from Good Wives: Being a Sequel to "Little Women" Meg had spent the-time in working as well as waiting, growing womanly in character, wise in house witawy arts, and prettier than ever; for love is a mat heautifier. She had her girlish ambitions and hem-and felt some disappointment at the humble way in which the new life must begin. Ned Moflat had just married Sallie Gardiner, and Meg couldn't help contrastihg their fine house and carriage, many gifts, and splendid outfit, with her own, and secretly wishing she could have the same. But somehow envy and discontent soon vanished when she thought of all the patient love and labour John had put into the little home awaiting'her; and when they sat together in the twilight talking over their small plane, the future always grew so beautiful and bright, that she forgot Sallie's splendour, and felt herself the richest.
