19世纪60年代期间,美国社会中的一个重要变革就是众多女性逐渐摆脱来自传统家庭的束缚,开始投身于社会和政治生活中。美国作家奥尔科特的《小妇人》便是这一时期的代表作品。作品中对普通家庭四个姐妹的描述,体现了女性在成长过程中体现的各种女性自强的性格特点。 During the 1860s, an important change in American society was that many women gradually got rid of the shackles of traditional families and began to devote themselves to social and political life. The “Little Woman” by American writer Alcot is the representative work of this period. The descriptions of the four sisters of ordinary families in the works embody the characteristics of women’s self-reliance embodied in the growing process of women.
