The main character: 

The main character is Joe, she is brunette with blue eyes and not so well groomed. She believes that women need to  fulfill their dreams and not depend on men. because in the past women could not finance themselves. Therefore, marriage was a financial proposal and did not consider a reference to love. Joe was a writer and believed that she will succeed and everyone will remember her as a woman that changed the women’s status. Joe prefers to be single than married to someone she doesn’t like or to get married and not to fulfill her dreams. 

The secondary character:

The secondary character is -Marmmy March. She is the mother who takes care of everyone. She is blonde with blue eyes. She is very generous and always looks how to help others. When Beth gets sick and the the father is wounded, she takes care of both, even though she had to travel by train to her husband.. In the middle of the book we see her impatient. She talks to Joe and explains her that through the years she learned how to control it and to be a better person. Marmmy March always takes care of her daughters, they are all her world, especially Joe because she appreciates her willpower. 

The character i like the least:

The character I liked the least is Aunt March. She is against women’s rights and believes that women can’t fulfill their dreams. The men played a role as her payment solution. I don’t agree with what she says because women need to work exactly  like men and they deserve to have the same rights. Women need to marry a man out of love and not because their class.

Book review:

I completely recommend reading this wonderful book “Little Women” I was happy to read it.The story  taught me a lot about my rights as a woman, especially when I realized that the women didn’t have basic rights such as, they weren’t allowed to work or join the army . It also taught me not to give up on my dreams, even if I have a many obstacles. All the credit is to Joe.
