['An article in the magazine Kaiku 19.4.1917 says: " --The book introduces to us four little women, 12-18 years old. They seem to represent the girl types that are the most popular as well in America as here in Finland among the small daughters of Eva, starting from the mincing imitators of the ladies of the world to the boyish girls with twinkling eyes and red cheeks, whose gleaming teeth are always visible because they smile all the time. These four little women have an excellent, exemplary and good mother, who with great skill cultivates their gifts and educates them to fight against their bad traits. Reader follows their life with interest, is as happily present in their work and fun as in their tantrums, that actually are sweet. The book is because of it\'s purity and it\'s idealistic world view very suitable for the young and therefore very recommendable, although there are weaknesses with respect to the artistic side of it."
