Louisa May Alcott's Little Women
We're discussing this in book club this month, because none of us have read it in ages, but the recent movie made us want to revisit it! I'd kind of forgotten how didactic it is, but of course it's still a classic story once you get past all that. (I do think the novel would be half as long without all the Christian moralizing.) I had also forgotten that Amy really is the most prominent sister after Jo, so props to Greta Gerwig for actually showing that in her version. And I know it’s a ~thing~ to be like “Jo is trans” but honestly, you could write a very persuasive term paper about it. Anyway, there is going to be a LOT to discuss with my pals and I am excited to do so.
