A B O U T

Josephine "Jo" March is the protagonist of "Little Women", "Jo's Boys" and "Little Men", all novels by Louisa May Alcott. Jo's a tomboy and the second-oldest sister at fifteen when Little Women opens. She is very outspoken and has a passion for writing. Her bold nature often gets her into trouble. She is especially close to her younger sister Beth, who helps her become a gentler person. She is employed by her Aunt March, in taking care of her well being. Jo cuts off her long , chestnut brown hair — "her one beauty," as Amy calls it — and sells it to a wig shop to get money for her mother to visit their father, a wounded Civil War chaplain. She longs to go abroad with Aunt March, who ultimately decides to take Amy abroad instead as her companion. She refuses the proposal of marriage from family friend Laurie aka Theodore Laurence because he's "tied to her apron strings", and heads off to New York to try her hand at writing. while there, she falls in love with Professor Fritz Bhaer. They have two sons, Rob, named after his grandfather, and Teddy, named after Laurie; they inherit Plumfield at the death of Aunt March and turn it into a boys' boarding school. By the end of the trilogy, Jo has become a famous author and must deal with the stress of being well-known.

FUN FACT: Louisa May Alcott was amused that the largest amount of fan mail she recieved asked a question she felt was impertinant to the story: would Jo end up with Laurie? The furor caused her to remark upon her own life choices with pith: "I'd rather be a free spinster and paddle my own canoe".
