Re: Little Women
It's so interesting to read a perspective (or, really, variety of perspectives) on womanhood from over 100 years ago. Through the 4 March sisters, Louisa May Alcott portrays a variety of identities and perspectives, and validates all of them. The message here is so important: there is no 1 right way to be a woman.

I would hardly classify Little Women as medieval. The characters are still compelling even if certain scenarios do not match up with your personal life.glossy cherry wrote: ↑14 Jun 2020, 07:26 I loved this book. I read it when I was 14 years old and found it very inspiring for young girls. I am thinking about revisiting it to know how I interpret it now as an adult. Will it be as thoughtful as before? I think some parts of it are too medieval to be relatable today.

I loved the most recent movie! It is so relevant to what is happening in our society today, but it doesn't belabor this at the expense of the novel. I think Alcott would approve. The whole cast is perfect! Chalamet does an excellent job as Laurie. In all the other movie versions I've seen Laurie is too good. The writing and Chalamet's performance show a depressed and immature side of Laurie when Amy runs into him again in France. Then he has a chance to grow and mature. It is well worth watching!Does the recent movie adaptation live up to the book? I haven't watched the movie yet but I have read the book and from the trailers alone, I especially felt that Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet, and Florence Pugh are the perfect actors and actresses to play the characters. I feel that they really did bring the book alive.
