LITTLE WOMEN 內容簡介

　　"Christmas wont be Christmas without any presents，" complained Jo， lying on the floor.　　"Its so awful to be poor！" sighed Meg， looking down at her old dress.　　"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things， and other girls nothing at all，" added little Amy， with an injured sniff.　　"We've got Father and Mother， and each other，" said Beth contentedly from her corner.　　The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words， but darkened again as Jo said sadly， "We haven't got Father， and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never，" but each silently added it， thinking of Father far away， where the Fighting was. 《小婦人》是由美國女作家露易莎·梅·奧爾科特創作的長篇小說，首次出版于1868年。 該作是一部以美國南北戰爭為背景，以19世紀美國新英格蘭地區的一個普通家庭四個姐妹之間的生活瑣事為藍本的帶有自傳色彩的家庭倫理小說。小說受到當時的大思想家愛默生的影響，強調了個人尊嚴與自立自律的觀念；內容平實卻細膩，結構單純而寓意深遠，富有強烈的感染力。 《小婦人》是一本以女性角色為主，強調女權意識的半自傳體小說。文中注重表現女性意識，宣揚美好品質。
