Jo March

Jo March is one of the narrators and main characters in the famous novel "Little Women" by Louisa M. Alcott. She is the second-oldest daughter in the March household. In the American Civil War, the family has brief financial troubles at the start of "Little Women." The March sisters' father is serving in the military as a preacher, and the elder sisters are trying to boost the family's income.

Different from her other three sisters, Jo March was a wild and courageous kid. She frequently wished she was a boy instead of a girl; as a result, Jo loves whistling, speaking slang, and raking up her clothing - all hallmarks of manhood at the time. Jo wore a "scribbling outfit" consisting of a wide black pinafore designed to soak up ink smudges, coupled with a little black hat and a gray plume.

Jo enjoys reading and would spend many hours doing so, eating apples and crying over classics like The Heir of Radcliffe. Her favorite spot at Orchard Hall was the attic. The little kitchen, which housed several manuscripts, books, and mice (who nibbled her papers and sampled her pencils), also served as her workstation while she was in a "vortex."

At the beginning of the novel, Jo aspires to become a great author. However, towards the conclusion, she seems very content with her ordinary life.
