Little Women: Women Empowerment

In the movie, sisterhood plays a key role for the plot as the March sisters have a bond that can’t never be broken however Little Women challenges the bond on multiple occasions as the sisters are into the world but as different people meaning everyone has a different ending to their story some ending in tragedy then some ending with asking what could have been? In a book called The Afterlife of Little Women there are many questions on how she ended the book 50 years after it comes out. The writer of the book Beverly Clark actually question major aspect of the book saying “Although the novel is still a favorite with many, direct popular interest has continued to decline, even as academic interest has greatly increased, and a more diffuse popular interest, manifested in adaptations broadly defined, has accelerated. The echo of Little Women continues” (139). In this quote she is saying that the story may not be as popular as it was in the 1800s the sisterhood bond is still in the message. You look at how the sisters are so close together through everything that the sibling bond is in other stories like Vanessa and Her Sisters by Priya Parmar or The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. Louisa May Alcott wrote a story of Women Empowerment to Sisterhood and Coming of age she wrote something that others should read today.
