One of the real life topics that intersect with Little Women is the rise of a Protestant work ethic in New England. When the Puritans arrived to America, they were very concerned with spirituality, but also with creating a community that was sustainable and productive. Protestants valued work very highly, and they saw it as a mark of a life well-lived. This left a legacy in the region of New England that could still be felt in the nineteenth century. For sources on this subject, we could look at The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber.

An example of this protestant work ethic appears in the character of Meg. Meg March is a little more concerned with fancy things and having money than her sisters. This could be because she remembers the time when her family had it. However, as the novel progresses, Meg begins to display a stronger work ethic. She begins to value things not only due to how fancy or expensive they are, but because of how much effort and work it takes to produce them. She also begins to appreciate simpler things, and value the effort that goes into obtaining them. This attitude comes, to a great extent, from the protestant work ethic that was common in New England at the time.
