We see various incidents from their lives often showing up Jo as impetuous and Amy as petulant and somewhat spoiled while poor Beth suffers from illness but a beautifully generous heart. ![]() She struggles to bring up her daughters alone while her husband is fighting in the Civil War. All are under the wing of Marmee (Laura Dern) a mother that all girls would wish for.

Her interpretation of Little Women is told from a feminist viewpoint. Well, Greta Gerwig has directed a minor masterpiece here.
