Glad you're enjoying the re-read :)<br /><br />You're right about how the lives of women have changed over time, and the focus isn't on being good daughters, home-makers and wives. Yet, in today's day and age, I think this book is a lot more charming and thought-provoking.<br /><br />PS : I love Jo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-66228415370164257672010-03-15T16:24:16.599-04:002010-03-15T16:24:16.599-04:00I watched Little Women yesterday (Winona Ryder ver...I watched Little Women yesterday (Winona Ryder version) and never tire of that adaption.

To be able to place myself at that time and place. Sometimes it just seems that life was so much easier back then, but in reality, women probably were frustrated with having to make sure they did the right thing and be submissive. Their lifestyles were so different than ours today. Having grown up in the woman's revolutionary era where a lot of things changed in the 60's and 70's, I look at today and almost wish we went back to some of the ways back then before the changes were made in my lifetime. Maybe life wouldn't seem so hectic and feel that we have to accomplish so much. I don't think the women realized how much we were taking on. I also wonder what those women would think if they lived in today's world.<br />Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
