S6 E2 Meg's Jelly Incident With Jenne Bergstrom (Chapter Domestic Experiences)

Food plays a vital role in Little Women, symbolizing love, sacrifice, and the challenges of domestic life. In this episode, we’re joined by Jenne Bergstrom, co-author of The Little Women Cookbook, to discuss Chapter: Domestic Experiences and how meals shape the March sisters’ journey. From Meg’s kitchen failures to the joys of a well-prepared meal, we examine how Louisa May Alcott used food to reflect class, gender roles, and family dynamics in the 19th century.You can find my Little Women books here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLRXH5HZ?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tuknSay Hi on Social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastinglittlewomenTumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/littlewomenchannelTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@littlewomenchannelPlease notice that Little Women podcast has it's focus on the book canon. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ex Laddie Wisniewski and friend of the Alcott sisters Alf Whitman and Friedrich is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who Alcott wanted to marry and the German poet Goethe (her favorite writer). I also firmly believe that Alcott planned the marriages in Little Women, years before she wrote the book, you can read more about that here https://archiveofourown.org/works/52882897?view_adult=trueYou can contact Niina at [email protected] (fanmail and business proposals only thank you).
