Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast: Melodie I love this podcast! The host knows more, digs deeper, and makes better connections than any other LMA/Little Women researcher I’ve seen. I would consider myself a big LMA/Little Women fan, and I’d say I know more about the two than the average person (or average fan even), but I always learn something new listening to this podcast. I’m the admin for “The Little Women Book Club” on Facebook, and our members all really love this podcast. If you’re an LMA/Little Women fan you will love it, too! rotten Tiger What a beautiful podcast! It’s so insightful and entertaining. It understands the characters perfectly (especially Laurie), I love it Jen As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March. Here is part of Jo´s and Friedrich's conversation: "I read that and I think to myself, she has a sorrow. She is lonely. She would find comfort in true love. I have a heart full of love. Full for her. Shall I not go and say, if this is not too poor a thing to give, for what I shall hope to receive, take it in God's name. I have nothing to give but my heart, which is so full, and these empty hands". In November 1868 when Louisa began writing part two, she clearly made up her mind "Girls ask who the Little Women marry as if that was the only meaning of woman's life. I won't marry Jo to Laurie to please anyone". Little Women becomes a different type of marriage novel. One for the modern woman in the 19th century. She expects the vials of wrath. Louisa is fully aware of how radical and different the novel is. Women can want both careers and partnerships. There is shame and stigma in admitting this, especially if one has a reputation as someone who has been preaching about independence. For the loners, that might be just fine, but Jo is not a loner. She's extremely attached to her family, like her creator. Friedrich makes a compromise by giving up the teaching position in the West and agreeing to Jo's ideas of opening a school for boys at Plumfield. That he never wants to take Jo away from her family is telling. In a research made about the earlier LMA biographies, Shealy explains how Louisa and her publishers very consciously created this brand called Louisa May Alcott, which was used to market her. This public persona was a spinster aunt who wrote children's books and Louisa hid herself behind them. Jo in the books can be more complex and even fall in love, and so could the real-life Louisa, but the public persona could not do that.
