Today in Literary History
More Literary HistoryDiscover the significance of today's date in the world of literature.
The first half of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, Little Women, was published by the Roberts Brothers. Alcott was urged to write a “girls’ book,” which she resisted, but she said she would try. After several attempts, her autobiographical approach was met with rave reviews by her niece. This manuscript was published with only 2000 copies, which sold out quickly. Her second half was published in the following year and it brought unexpected critical and commercial success. Today, Little Women is an enduring tale of growing up and finding your path despite societal expectations. It is one of the most widely read novels of American literature.

Ayush Raj
Sahityika has been a warm and inspiring space, full of creativity, connection, and growth. It's where I found not just a platform for expression, but a family of like-minded, supportive individuals.
Sreevidya
Sahityika is a sanctuary—a sanctuary where creativity overflows. It has taught me so many things. It’s now become like home, full of fun and friends. I don’t know how words could ever capture the beauty of this place.
Prasidha Jayaramakrishnan
Being a part of group of highly knowledgeable people who share my love for literature has been a liberating journey. Even though I am occasionally active in the group through messages, I tend to stay in track with the happenings of the group. From what I've seen, Sahityika feels to me like a group of non-judgmental people who bring to the table a lot of different views on the world. I've learnt a lot from this place.

Vian Khemka
Raajameenakshi's leadership. Satyaki's Poems. Shambhavi's events. Sejal's scripts. And the entire team's enthusiasm and participation, it wins all our hearts. Sahityika is a warm, welcoming space which brings out the writer in us, brings out emotions and provides a space for us to connect better as people, unfiltered, unjudged, real.
