Little Women
'I'm angry nearly every day of my life.' Marmee said it. You're allowed to feel it too. 📖
Who it's for
Gerwig's version lets each March sister want something different and treats each want as legitimate, which validates viewers who feel squeezed by expectations.

What it is
Little Women is Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's novel. The film moves between two timeframes: in 1861, the four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, are growing up in Concord, Massachusetts, during the Civil War, and in 1868, Jo is working as a teacher in New York City while trying to become a writer.
