Good Wives

By Louisa May Alcott

This is the sequel to Little Women, and much better it was too. In this book we continue to follow the adventures of the four March sisters, and explore the trials and tribulations of entering into womanhood and embarking on married life. The story picks up a few months after Little Women closes and it deals with the expectations that women had to live up to, and how they were supposed to behave, in mid-nineteen century New England.
