Our take on Little Women

Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation reshuffles Louisa May Alcott's classic into a time-weaving portrait of the March sisters' loves, ambitions and losses in post-Civil War New England. Warm, witty and quietly radical about women and art, it makes a beloved story feel newly urgent. If its tender intelligence moved you, seek out literary period dramas and coming-of-age stories about sisterhood, creative ambition and growing up.
