................................................................................................
Louisa May Alcott came from a family that grew up during times of a distant war in the neighbourhood of Concord where some of the great thinkers of US were then living and writing. Her father moved them from Boston to the remote Concord to be in that atmosphere, and it brought them into close contact with the best society had then to offer. She wrote this partly about their own life, is the surmise.
These little girls growing up were given education and taught to use their minds and have a right heart, rather than "catch" a gentleman and marry and find security; hence the title "women" rather than the more prevalent "ladies" which then denoted women with more secure existence and comparatively a more decorative rather than useful life, with servants and slaves.
The trials and bonds of this middle class family that went through the war at a distance, and knew hardships and privations and to remain nevertheless at a level above mundane, and retain intellectual pursuits.
