This time I will tell you about a book that inspired Little Women. This book is Susan Warner's Wide Wide World. Wide Wide World appeared when LMA was 18 years old, and there is a moment in Little Women, where 15 year old Jo "was reading and crying over Wide Wide World in the apple tree". Best way I can describe Wide Wide World is a "Christian romance"? with plenty of morals and self-reflection. It was an interesting read, but as I love history it was great fun to do research on Susan Warner who was an interesting woman.

This time Emily and I will be analyzing chapter "Vanity Fair" from Little Women. This is by far, the most requested chapter people have asked me to analyze on the podcast!Meg’s longing to fit in with wealthier circles grows stronger, leading her to accept an invitation to a lavish party. She becomes disillusioned when she realizes that appearances don’t bring true happiness, and the superficiality of the people around her starkly contrasts with the values of her own family.

On day to day basis, I get tons of requests to roast the 2019 Little Women. Christina and I have some pretty strong opinions on this one, and in general about Greta Gerwig's questionable, ways to ditch the original material (and this is not something that is only limited to Little Women).

This time Christina and I are discussing about our thoughts related to the first Little Women movie. "Little Women" is a 1933 film adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel of the same name. The movie follows the March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy – as they navigate love, loss, and the challenges of growing up during the Civil War era. The sisters are close-knit but have distinct personalities, with Jo being particularly headstrong and ambitious. As they face various trials and tribulations, they learn the importance of family, friendship, and perseverance. The film touches on themes of love, sisterhood, and independence, making it a timeless and heartwarming story.Little Women Podcast Books Now Available https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLRXH5HZ?binding=kindle_edition&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tuknNiina's Gumroad Store https://littlewomen.gumroad.com/So many of you have asked me to review different Little Women adaptations, it was about time for me to do that.

This time Annabelle and myself are discussing about religion in Louisa May Alcott's novels and counting all the transcendentalist references in chapter "Sunday". Transcanscentalism was a nature-centric form of Christianity. A philosophy that Alcott practiced her entire life. In Little Men Nat sees a beautiful painting of Jesus and children. The frame is made of moss and pine cones, which intrigues him. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, my guest Annabelle continues our discussion of Little Men and the chapter "Sunday". Little Men is the direct sequel to Little Women. In this book, we meet many of Jo's and Friedrich's students and get to see how they run their school together. Wild boy Tommy Banks shows the new kid Nat around the school explaining things. In her diaries, Louisa wrote about her desire to start a school and we can see many of her own educational ideas in Plumfield. Annabelle and I are also discussing about Alcott's views on religion and her love for nature.

My guest Star is here to talk to us about Heroine's Journey and we are discussing the heroine's journey in Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables and Jo's heroine's journey in Little Women. I was told that Gilbert's proposal to Anne in the 80s AOGG is almost exactly the same as Laurie's proposal to Jo in 1933 Little Women. Of course, I had to check if this was true and I have recorded these two proposals and mine and Star's reactions. It is an interesting detail and I think it might be one of the reasons why so many people somehow link Anne and Gil and Jo and Laurie together. Oh Hollywood what do you do to us?What an amazing episode! My guest Star is here to talk to us about the "heroine's journey". The heroine's journey came about in 1990 when Maureen Murdock, a Jungianpsychotherapist and a student of Joseph Campbell, published a self-help book called The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness.Star has been studying the heroine's journey through characters such as Jo March from Little Women and Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables.

Kymberly and I continue our analysis on the chapter "Laurie makes mischief and Jo makes peace". In this chapter Laurie sends love notes to Meg pretending to be his tutor John Brooke, and he thinks it is a harmless prank, which it is not. Kymberly and I are also discussing Laurie's development in the book series and his character arc and Marmee's influence on both him and the girls. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My guest Kymberly and I are dissecting the chapter "Laurie Makes Mischief and Jo makes peace". In this chapter, Laurie pretends to be his tutor John Brooke and forges love letters to Meg. He gets into a lot of trouble, but what is troublesome is Jo's maternal need to protect Laurie and her ignorance over Meg's pain. This and a lot more in this episode. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Little Women the novel, after falling in love and marrying Amy, Laurie actually apologizes to Jo that he harassed her and made her feel uncomfortable. This apology of Laurie has never been adapted in Little Women movies. Sinem and I are also discussing Jo's loneliness and in chapters "Surprises" and "All alone" we get to see how she longs to find romance and start a family of her own. This is once again something that is often overlooked. We shall also be discussing Alcott's relationships and romances. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I've got many requests to talk more about Jo's occasional not-like-the-other-girls attitude and how harmful it was for her (and how she grew out of it). Sinem and I will also be discussing about Jo's and Amy's relationship and how to the two sisters are actually quite similar in terms of their tempers and unconventionally.

Hallo Little Women fans! Today I am joined by Sinem and she is here to talk to us about Louisa May Alcott's love for two very famous German authors, Friedrich Schiller and Goethe. We are also discussing about the possibility that our beloved Friedrich Bhaer was named after Friedrich Schiller. Schiller makes surprisingly many entries in Little Women series. He is mentioned often in discussions between Jo and Friedrich and Meg and John. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
