Overview
"Mujercitas" trata sobre la familia March, en la que el padre, se encuentra ausente luchando en la guerra, dejando en casa a su esposa y cuatro hijas cuyos nombres son: Margaret, Josephine, Elizabeth y Amy.
Las hermanas March son: Meg, la primogénita, ejerce el papel de hermana mayor, es vanidosa. Le sigue Jo, cuya rebeldía y determinación resultan vitales en su empeño por convertirse en escritora. Toda la familia describe a Beth como el ángel, por su inocencia y abnegación silenciosa. La pequeña Amy es indiscreta e impulsiva.
Todo comienza horas antes de navidad cuando las hermanas imaginan cómo sería si tuviesen dinero para poder comprar lo que necesitan en ese momento. Luego de pensarlo, llegan a la conclusión de que comprarán con sus ahorros lo que realmente desean. De pronto, llega su madre quien les dice que cerca de su casa hay una familia con una señora muy enferma que tiene muchos hijos inclusive uno recién nacido.
Las niñas van con su madre a la casa de la humilde familia con el deseo de darles su cena de Navidad, por lo que la familia quedó muy agradecida, pero lo que las March no sabían era que ellas también serían premiadas con una gran cena por el Señor Laurence, quien se enteró de su buena obra.
"Mujercitas" es un emotivo relato muy femenino con personajes y situaciones memorables. Enamoramientos, aspiraciones intelectuales, complicaciones, vicisitudes en la vida de las jovencitas. La escritora utiliza una fina descripción de caracteres, que muestra el paso de la niñez a la juventud, pone énfasis en el espíritu de la libertad individual, algo no usual para la época. Las March demuestran sus aptitudes sociales tocando el piano, bordando o manteniendo una conversación fluida, amable y elegante.
En ese contexto, las protagonistas comenzarán a mostrar tanto sus virtudes como sus defectos y vivirán experiencias que les permitirán crecer, madurar, conocer el amor, enfrentar situaciones difíciles y presiones de la vida conyugal y del mundo exterior.
Cada capítulo relata un acontecimiento importante para la madurez de las chicas y no cabe duda de que la autora se inspiró en su propia familia a la hora de crear los personajes. Denotan realismo, cuidado y cariño. A pesar de lo diferentes que son las hermanas entre sí, se les valora por igual. Todas tienen cualidades que se resaltan y defectos que se esmeran en mejorar. Ocurre igual con los personajes secundarios: Laurie, el romántico joven que será uno más en la familia, Hannah o la propia Marmee, la madre de las March.
Y es que "Mujercitas" es una novela que ha trascendido a todas las épocas. Hoy en día, las nuevas generaciones la han aceptado, porque está muy bien escrita. Además, tiene el germen del feminismo. De hecho, el personaje de Jo, la joven que desea escribir, ha sido motivo de inspiración para importantes escritoras. Niñas que se convierten en mujeres, personajes memorables e inolvidables.

Chapter One
Playing Pilgrims
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents,"grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
"It's so dreadful to be poor!"sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have lots of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy, with an injured sniff.
"We've got father and mother, and each other, anyhow,"said Beth, contentedly, from her corner.
The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly?
"We haven't got father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never,"but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fighting was.
Nobody spoke for a minute; then Meg said in an altered tone, "You know the reason mother proposed not having any presents this Christmas, was because it's going to be a hard winter for every one; and she thinks we ought not to spend money for pleasure, when our men are suffering so in the army. We can't do much, but we can make our little sacrifices, and ought to do it gladly. But I am afraid I don't;"and Megshook her head, as she thought regretfully of all the pretty things she wanted.
"But I don't think the little we should spend would do any good. We've each got a dollar, and the army wouldn't be much helped by our giving that. I agree not to expect anything from mother or you, but I do want to buy Undine and Sintram for myself; I've wanted it so long,'said Jo, who was a bookworm.
"I planned to spend mine in new music,"said Beth, with a little sigh, which no one heard but the hearth-brush and kettle-holder.
"I shall get a nice box of Faber's drawing pencils; I really need them," said Amy, decidedly.
"Mother didn't say anything about our money, and she won't wish us to give up everything. Let's each buy what we want, and have a little fun; I'm sure we grub hard enough to earn it,"cried Jo, examining the heels of her
boots in a gentlemanly manner.
"I know I do, teaching those dreadful children nearly all day, when I'm longing to enjoy myself at home," began Meg, in the complaining tone again.
"You don't have half such a hard time as I do," said Jo. "How would you like to be shut up for hours with a nervous, fussy old lady, who keeps you trotting, is never satisfied, and worries you till you"e ready to fly out of the window or box her ears?"
"It's naughty to fret, but I do think washing dishes and keeping things tidy is the worst work in the world. It makes me cross; and my hands get so stiff, I can't practise good a bit." And Beth looked at her rough hands with a sigh that any one could hear that time.
"I don't believe any of you suffer as I do," cried Amy; "for you don't have to go to school with impertinent girls, who plague you if you don't know your lessons, and laugh at your dresses, and label your father if he isn't rich, and insult you when your nose isn't nice."
"If you mean libel I'd say so, and not talk about labels, as if pa was a pickle-bottle," advised Jo, laughing.
