Compared to Little Women, maybe...but only relatively speaking. There are some progressive ideas in Alcott's work, but her themes aren't in line with modern feminist thinking. Nan might remain single and career minded, but Daisy is heading for marriage. Bess is too young, and isn't a main character...all the girls take second place to the male characters in the book, like the title suggests. Motherhood is still presented as one of the most important things in a woman's life, second only to being a good wife.

In Eight Cousins (which iseeven more to do with Alcott's philosophy about the role of girls and women) her progressive heroine who is independently wealthy and enlightened also ends up on the track to marriage. Before that, her important role is to make the home comfortable and cozy, and to serve as a moral guide for her male cousins, even though some of them are older than she is.
