Before becoming a world-renowned author of literature for youth, Louise May Alcott (1832-1888) worked as a nurse during the Civil War, fought slavery, was one of the first participants in the movement for the granting of women's voting rights. Having started to write children's books, she achieved unprecedented fame and wealth. She looked at the world and wrote about it the way she lived, with faith in the future, with love and compassion for people. Loyalty to the truth of life and high ideals, humor and unquenchable optimism inherent in her work, will always attract to her books young and adult readers. "Good Wives" is a continuation of "Little Women," a heartfelt and touching novel about the childhood and youth of four sisters. Margaret, Joe, Bess and Amy are so different, so unique. Together they cope with difficulties, experience sorrows and joys, dream about the future and go through a difficult path of growing up. And already becoming adult girls, face new worries. Vividly and fascinatingly describing their fate, Alcott again instills faith in people and human feelings.
