Biography[]

She was always there to listen to her girls' problems, and they knew that they could tell her anything. Marmee often allowed the girls to learn on their own, when she knew the consequences would be harmless. She was there to explain herself and make sure the girls understood why she did things the way she did.

In Little Women, Marmee was described to be a tall, maternal woman with a truly delightful "can I help you" look about her. Though she could not afford to be elegantly-dressed, she was still a noble-looking woman.

Personality and traits[]
