Piccole donne è il più famoso romanzo di Louisa May Alcott che pubblicò per la prima volta in due volumi: il primo nel 1868 e il secondo nel 1869 con il titolo "Little Women or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy". Nel 1880 i due volumi furono riuniti in uno solo, "Little Women". L'edizione del 1880 presenta anche alcune modifiche legate soprattutto al linguaggio: l'American idiom che rispecchiava la vita reale ma che poco si confaceva ad una prosa letteraria. In Italia le prime traduzioni risalogono agli anni trenta-quaranta del Novecento e si preferì, come del resto in molti altri paesi, dividere il romanzo in due parti: "Piccole donne" e "Piccole donne crescono". Il libro ebbe un successo immediato quando uscì e oggi è considerato un classico della letteratura per l'infanzia, consigliato dagli insegnanti e amato dai bambini (Aonia edizioni).
