It is a non-stop rave fest for Little Women. You have all read how critics and famous people have expressed their positive views, reviews and gratitude for Greta Gerwig's new adaptation of the acclaimed novel. But they are not the only ones. Readers all over the world have come back to the source material, aka the Louisa May Alcott's original book. We have found raves in languages in which we didn't know the book was even published. Silly us! The book is everywhere!

I finished my re read of Little Women. I am so glad I read this again as an adult. I took away so much more this time around. Such a powerful and still relevant novel. I have such admiration for women like Alcott and Austen- women who wrote about themes far from the norm of their era. . The newest thing I took away from reading it this time around is the support of women by women- whether in your family or not, women should build one another up and celebrate victories without the imaginary expectations that society says we should be bitter to each other’s accomplishments. . I also salute Alcott with her rebel determination to state women are not just made for relationships and to marry. Life fulfillment is what each woman makes it. . I wish I did a re read of this during my college years. I was in a male-dominated program and the first women to graduate in that major from my school- I think Jo would have given me some pointers 😉 . . #bookstagram #books #bibliophile #bookworm #bookish #coffee #littlewomen #bookreview #instagood #bookstagrammer #booksbooksbooks #bookobsessed #bookcommunity #dogsofinstagram #readingbuddy #dogs #bookflatlay #frostbeardshare #bookobsessed #womenempowerment #humpday #womenwednesday #wednesday #booknerd

Another successful meeting IN THE BOOKS. Our students were intrigued by the first half of #LittleWomen and after today’s discussion, even more eager to finish it and find out what becomes of the March sisters! #PS - peep our book club agenda! If anyone has ideas for a new design we’re all ears (“’cause we’d like to get jackets” - Kevin G/Mean Girls) . . . . #ReadingisLit #twinning #currentlyreading #bookstagram #bookaddict #igreads #books #bookworm #goodreads #reading #highschool #bookclub #bookclubofinstagram #bookaddiction #readabookaday #bookchallenge #MeanGirls #KevinG #soairseronan #emmawatson #timotheechalamet #feminist #women #sisters #TinaFey #merylstreep #louisamayalcott

• • • • • É hoje! ❤🎥 ⠀ A estreia do filme "Adoráveis Mulheres", da diretora Greta Gerwig, a mais recente adaptação de "Mulherzinhas", o clássico romance de Louisa May Alcott sobre a amizade e as aventuras de quatro irmãs durante a Guerra Civil americana. ⠀ Meg (Emma Watson), Beth, Jo e Amy ganham vida em mais uma adaptação nos cinemas. A última foi em 1994. ⠀ 👒 Qual é a sua irmã favorita? A minha é a Jo, porque será? 🙈 ⠀ ➸ Publicado pela primeira vez em 1868, a obra acompanha a vida de quatro irmãs desde o primeiro Natal sozinhas enquanto o pai está servindo na Guerra Civil até a vida adulta. ⠀ Um clássico para ser degustado aos poucos. Fiz isto no mês passado e gostei muito, já leram? ⠀ #littlewomen #mulherzinhas #adoraveismulheres #acreditamosnoslivros #louisemayalcott #classico #littlewomenmovie #emmawatson #adaptacao

Esta Navidad fui al cine a ver la adaptación de Mujercitas y me encantó🥰🥰 El elenco, los diálogos, la fotografía... todo estaba cuidado hasta el último detalle. El libro lo tengo pendiente, reconozco que me da pereza por lo gordo que es, pero quiero leerlo sí o sí. . Contadme! Habéis visto la peli o leído el libro?. . #littlewomen #mujercitas #books #bookstagram #bookstagramespaña #bookstagrammer #bookacholic

I have been falling back in love with _Little Women_ over the past few weeks! I first read it when I was in middle school and probably too young to fully appreciate it. Rereading now has been such a delight and I am so charmed by Louisa May Alcott’s characters. I’m really looking forward to reading a modern interpretation, _Meg & Jo_, next! 🌸 . . . #littlewomen #louisamayalcott #megandjo #virginiakantra #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #bookphotography #currentread #reread #igbooks #igreaders #readmorebooks
