Amy March

Amy March is the youngest of the four March sisters in Louisa May Alcott's novel *Little Women* (1868).

She begins as a vain, artistic child preoccupied with propriety and her own nose, but matures into a graceful young woman who marries the wealthy neighbor Laurie.

Amy represents ambition and pragmatism among the sisters—she's the one who thinks strategically about marriage and social position: She's such an Amy March about networking.
