| Summary |
"Three Little Women: A Story for Girls" by Gabrielle E. Jackson is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Carruth sisters—Eleanor, Constance, and Jean—each with distinct personalities and challenges as they navigate life after the death of their father. The narrative explores themes of resilience, familial bonds, and compassion as the sisters take on various adventures and responsibilities. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the Carruth household on a stormy afternoon, highlighting the lively and spirited nature of the youngest sister, Jean. While her sisters engage in domestic activities, Jean's persistent desire for adventure leads her outside, where she discovers an old, blind horse named Baltie trapped in a ditch. Showing remarkable courage, Jean attempts to rescue Baltie and brings attention to his plight, leading to an encounter with the heartless owner, Jabe Raulsbury. This initial chapter sets the stage for the sisters' dynamics and themes of kindness and justice, establishing a strong emotional connection to both the characters and the rescued horse.
