Women's experiences, then (in the Alcotts' time) and now

MARMEE & LOUISA has received great reviews in PEOPLE, USA TODAY, and BOOKPAGE. 
Reviewers are noting similarities between Abigail and Louisa May Alcott’s experiences and our experiences today. Women and girls in nineteenth-century America were constrained by the expectation that they be retiring, docile, and lacking in judgment or stature. Abigail and Louisa rebelled against this cultural convention, trying valiantly to achieve their dreams of freedom in a world that did not want or expect them to be more than private figures, mothers and housewives. Women today have more options and opportunities than the Alcott women had, but we still face some of the challenges they faced: how to balance work and family, how to hold children close while letting them go, how to combine a public and a private life, how to be true to one’s ideals without causing harm, and how to find a voice in a world that does not listen. These remain struggles today.
