FURTHER READING

Delamar, Gloria T. Louisa May Alcott and "Little Women": Biography, Critique, Publications, Poems, Songs and Contemporary Relevance. London: McFarland and Co., 1990, 350 p.

Fetterley, Judith. "Little Women: Alcott's Civil War." Feminist Studies 5.2 (1979): 369-83.

Fetterley argues that Alcott's novel has tiered messages: one, which reflects the views of male-dominated culture, encouraging women to marry, work domestically, and not complain; the other, a subversive undermining of such views.
