You aren't exactly perfect little dolls like 'little women', but holy terrors!
Answer by Roger
_Little Women_ (1869) is a book by Louisa May Alcott about properly brought up girls. The Rosoff quote means that these people are not proper, restrained, modest, polite, and decent.

WASHINGTON â€" A Border Patrol agent was fatally wounded and another was injured in a shootout early Tuesday morning in an Arizona town near the border with Mexico, according to federal authorities.
The shootout occurred at a Border Patrol station in Naco, Ariz., that had recently been named in honor of Brian Terry, the agent whose 2010 murder roughly 70 miles away received national attention because of its ties to Operation Fast and Furious, a botched gun-tracking case. Two guns found at the scene of Mr. Terry’s murder were among hundreds that officials of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives failed to seize as they hoped to build the larger gun-smuggling case.
Operation Fast and Furious was an investigation from late 2009 to early 2011 into an Arizona-based gun-trafficking ring linked to a Mexican drug gang. During its course, A.T.F. agents used the tactic of gun-walking â€" not seizing illegal weapons in hopes of identifying more criminals.
Although federal authorities have said nothing about the weapons used in the shooting on Tuesday, Republican members of Congress who have been critical of the Justice Department issued statements that tried to tie the shooting to Operation Fast and Furious.
“There’s no way to know at this point how the agent was killed, but because of Operation Fast and Furious, we’ll wonder for years if the guns used in any killing along the border were part of an ill-advised gun-walking strategy sanctioned by the federal government,†said Senator Charles E. Grassley, Republican of Iowa, in a written statement. “It’s a sad commentary.â€
According to Border Patrol officials, the shooting occurred at 1:50 a.m. and the agent who survived sustained nonlife-threatening injuries and was airlifted to a hospital.
The authorities, who did not identify the agent who was killed, said a news conference would be held on Tuesday afternoon in Arizona.
