There was more out there for her than love and marriage. She had her own school and she became a successful author. Her school took in mixed race and disabled students, a girl who would become a doctor, and she and her female students discussed things like feminism and their career choices seriously.

She didn't marry a father figure, she married a nice man whose personality was a perfect match for her.

Her whole life doesn't revolve around marriage and kids even though those are part of it. If you're looking for a character who's Marmee 2.0, look at Meg.

Yep, she did those things. I affirm this because I don't want anyone getting their feathers ruffled like what happened upthread, but I've already commented on that. Alcott was very progressive for her time, but she was still a product of those times. That's just fact, not an attack, BTW.

"She didn't marry a father figure, she married a nice man whose personality was a perfect match for her."

I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive.

Meg definitely had Marmee-like qualities, too. But that's because Alcott wrote Marmee as the ideal for what a woman ought to be, so those traits were reflected in her two older daughters. It's very deliberate on the author's part.
