The term "Little Women" was popularized by author Louisa May Alcott in her novel of the same name, first published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. The story follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—during and after the American Civil War, portraying their growth from childhood to adulthood. While the phrase "little women" refers to their youth and development, it has since come to represent the themes of female identity and familial bonds in the novel.
Mrs March has a letter from her husband when she returns home at the start of Little Women. The letter inspires the girls to not feel depressed about their poverty and to be glad for what they did have.
In "Little Women," Mr. March is the husband of Marmee (Mrs. March) and the father of the four March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Aunt March, a wealthy relative, is the sister of Mr. March. This makes Aunt March the girls' aunt by virtue of her being their father's sister.
In "Little Women," Aunt March's home is called Plumfield. It is a significant location in the story, representing comfort and affluence compared to the March family's more modest home. Aunt March’s wealth and her home provide a backdrop for various interactions and developments among the characters, particularly concerning the March sisters' aspirations and relationships.
