The Best Books for Women to Read

There are few books that have so acutely captured the inimitable magic of sisterhood as powerfully as Little Women. Over 150 years since its initial publication, Louisa May Alcott’s novel has lost none of its magic, and indeed, it might be more relevant than ever. 

The March sisters – the stubborn Jo, beautiful Meg, spoiled Amy, and fragile Beth – stick together through thick and thin as the Civil War rages on and life for young women remains difficult. Multiple film, TV, and stage adaptations have been made of Little Women, but it’s the book that stands supreme.
