In fact, a lot of the book’s charming but less plot-driven anecdotal chapters are either condensed or skipped entirely for the movie adaptation. These sorts of minor changes happen over and over again. It’s a nearly 500-page behemoth with both stories combined, and while we get, for example, Meg testing her relationship by buying fabric she can’t afford, we miss another key anecdotal relationship story about the time she tried and failed to make jelly. It’s worth noting after all of this that Greta Gerwig’s movie adaptation of Little Women skips large swaths of Louisa May Alcott’s book. This change may seem small but it’s a big difference for a movie that makes a lot of touches to be more female-focused even than past iterations of the project were. In the book, she opens a school for boys-“boys, I want to open a school for little lads”-although girls ultimately attend the school as well, as we find out in Little Men. Jo And The Professor Open A School For GirlsĪt the end of Little Women 2019, the movie makes it seem like a rowdy school has been opened for children of both genders, although when Jo inherits Plumfield, she makes it clear she wants to open a school so girls can get a better education.
