Student from Germany who fell in love with coding and the tech industry after pivoting from a traditional career in banking. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in CompSci.
Just looked it up on Amazon - sounds amazing! Never heard of it before - I think it's sadly not that well-known in Germany...
But anyways, now it's on my list for 2020. 😎
Welcome tag moderator AKA Unofficial DEV cheerleader. While most of my friends are found on SnapChat or Tic-Toc, you can find me here. And I OOP, but I’m not a VSCO girl.
Okay but be aware that it’s mostly appreciated by women. I don’t know many guys who like it. Let me know if you do read it and what you think about it.

I'm certain there are more of us. Alcott's work, like Montgomery's, may be focused on the titular heroines, but the messages still resonate with anyone who has to fight against societal expectations to achieve their dreams. It's just like how many boys appreciate the Ramona Quimby books; it doesn't matter that she's a girl. She's a kid.
In my view, while "Little Women" speaks to women particularly, it's more broadly about the human experience; issues of character, and daring to defy the conventions of what you're told to be in order to become who you really are. The storylines for Laurie and John are a particular examples of that; they, too, must defy conventional wisdom of "who they're supposed to be".
The sequels of "Little Men" and "Jo's Boys" continue that dialog, exploring many of the same themes as they relate to manhood, especially for Nat and Dan, just as "Little Women" related them largely to womanhood. Mama Bhaer (Jo) never saw any difference in how her own life lessons related to herself and her sisters, versus how they related to the boys she taught and cared for, and neither should we.

Hey, I'm a guy, and it's one of my all-time favorite books!
Wow that’s great. You’re one in a million Jason. ❤️
