I think I underestimated the women of that era

In the nineteenth century, Joe's work consisted of reading for his aunt, working as a tutor, continuing to write at night, and then working as a teacher in London. Her life experience is much richer than mine. Not to mention the education she received, as well as her parents who are upright, educated and benevolent people, and the enlightenment her family environment brought her.

In those days, she seized the opportunity to read, study, make friends with a sincere heart, and later went to London to meet like-minded people and chat with various hotel guests. After experiencing material poverty, during the war when my father joined the army abroad, my sister became seriously ill and even died later. In order to cater to the market, I wrote detective novels, and after my sister left, I wrote "Little Women" based on my real experience. …

I have to say, she's been through a lot more than me. I also want to have more life stories.

Little Women quotes

  • Josephine 'Jo' March: Doesn't he have a noble brow? If I were a boy I'd want to look just like that.

  • Jo March: I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.

    Mr. Mayer: You should have been a lawyer, Miss March.

    Jo March: I should have been a great many things, Mr. Mayer.
