In this Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club recap episode, Rachel leads Sarah and Erin in a highly anticipated conversation on Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women.
How does Alcott’s cast of sisters offer a range of imaginative options for understanding virtuous womanhood? What are we to make of artsy-but-annoying Amy and tomboy Jo? Despite its being filled with religious themes and moral platitudes, can we call this a Christian book? How (if at all) does it measure up as “feminist” literature in the modern age? And most pressing of all: Should Josephine March and Theodore Lawrence have gotten married in the end?
Tune in next week to hear our most epic new-book-club-pick announcement to date!
