Friendship, History, Women 

Of the original twelve pupils that attended the school that Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer opened, over the years Jo has kept in touch with five of them. She corresponds with them whenever their travels take them far afield, and whenever they find themselves in the vicinity of Plumland, the house left to Jo by Aunt March, they always find a welcome and the chance to have a heart-to-heart conversation with her since Jo has always been their counsellor and guide in their adolescent years.

It is the start of a new era and Grandfather Lawrence left a legacy to build a college in the area where both young men and women could receive a higher education and the young ladies find themselves able to study the professions such as medicine, law, and education, to become teachers themselves one day. Professor Bhaer is the Director of the College and Mr. March, the girls' father, is the college chaplain and spiritual guide to any of the students who seek his advice.

The March sisters firmly lead their lives according to the principles instilled into them by Marmee, who has sadly passed away, and when they find that some of the more academic ladies are unable to cope with basic household skills, Meg starts a sewing circle to teach them how to sew. At first the sessions were attended by just one or two girls, but as word spreads, the circle grew much larger and Meg is joined by Jo and Amy who teach them everything about taking care of a household as Marmee had taught them. The students look forward to their weekly meetings and while they are sewing, one of the younger family members reads out loud to them.

Jo continues to write her novels and short stories and is often inundated with fan mail which her eldest son helps her with regarding the replies; Meg is happy and simply being a mother to her family and hoping that all will turn out well for them; Amy continues with her painting and sculptures and her young daughter is taking a keen interest in following in this artistic sphere. Teddy Lawrence, Amy's husband, is a keen musician and tries to balance his daughter's education with both music and art.
