Louisa May Alcott's Wild Indians: Pedagogy of Love, Politics of Empire
Louisa May Alcott’s Wild Indians: Pedagogy of Love, Politics of Empire Steve Benton East Central University Though long dismissed by many literary critics as sentimental juvenile literature, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women series has over the past few decades enjoyed a critical renaissance. The first installment of Alcott’s multi-volume account of Jo March and her sisters was published in 1868. It was a best-seller then, and when I checked Amazon.com’s list of best-selling 19th century novels during the first week of November 2011, it was in the number one position. In 1978, Nina Auerbach helped Little Women gain a stronger hold in college curricula by calling attention to the radical nature of Alcott’s suggestion that the “world of the March girls” was “rich enough to complete itself” (55). Thirteen years later, Elaine Showalter, described Jo as “the most influential figure of the independent and creative American woman” (42). Since then, many feminist scholars have ratified the status of Alcott’s work in academic journals. I am happy to see popular novels like those in the Little Women series finding their way onto the critical radar because they offer so much insight into the values embraced by their readers. Little Women provides a rich, complex terrain for discussion about gender discourse in the 19th century. In this essay, I will discuss the relationship between that discourse and territorial expansion policies of the United States during the years following the Civil War, policies that would eventually push many Native American nations to the brink of extermination.

The Importance of the Newly Identified Alcott-Pratt Photographs by Kristi
The Importance of the Newly Identified Alcott-Pratt Photographs By Kristi Martin The newly discovered photographs of Anna Alcott Pratt and her husband, John Bridge Pratt, are an important and exciting development. John and Anna are easily recognizable. John appears as he does in the already documented portrait. There is a characteristic softness about Anna’s features in her photograph that differentiate her from the 1862 silhouette portrait her sister Louisa, difficult to adequately qualify in words, but particularly remarkable around the eyes. The relationship between John and Anna is subtly indicated in the portrait layout within the album, facing one another from adjoining pages. It is not difficult to imagine that these portraits might have been taken around the time of their marriage in 1860, though there is no visible date associated with the images. The mislabeled portrait of Anna was, nonetheless, closely compared against known images of Louisa and Anna to verify her identify. While a recovered image of Louisa May Alcott would have been gratifying, those of her sister and brother in-law offer stimulating revelations for Alcott studies that are as noteworthy, thrilling, and perhaps more insightful than a new image of Louisa could have been. These photographs of Anna and John Pratt are significant for several reasons. Firstly, the existence of multiple photographs of John, evidentially taken during the same portrait sitting, could suggest that there may have been multiple poses of Anna as well. The newly identified portrait of her is a silhouette. Perhaps there was also an anterior portrait. Perhaps it will still be recovered.

Program Booklet
February 9 & 16 Nashoba-wheelockfam5.5x7.5.indd 1 9/23/19 3:16 PM WFT@BU January/February 2020 Why Little Women? “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” “Call me Ishmael.” And “Christmas won’t be Christmas without any presents.” Little Women is on a short list of great works of literature featuring famous first lines. I returned to these opening lines for our first rehears- al and realized that the first two pages of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel contain all the ingredients of her story: The four sisters are the first four characters whose voices we hear – this is a story about them. Jo has the first of these four lines – she will be the trailblazing leader of the sisters. Father is away at war – this is a matriarchal home. Marmee has asked her daughters to sacrifice their Christmas presents so as not to “spend money for pleasure, when our men are suffering so in the army” — this family is generous and mission-driven. Each sister has a different passion: books, music, drawing — this family does not have a lot, but they do have each other. It is their charity, love, and fire that make this family the Marches, that enable us to see ourselves in one of the four sisters, or parts of ourselves in all. As a young reader and moviegoer, what always spoke to me about Little Women is the rebel story of a young woman defying the gender norms of her time period through writing her own story.

Gender Stereotyping in Little Women: “Let Us Be Elegant Or Die!”
140 Gender Stereotyping in Little Women: “Let Us Be Elegant or Die!” Clare Bender University of Northwestern – St. Paul Abstract Using various autobiographical letters, biographies, and feminist articles, this essay explores feminism and gender stereotyping (or rather, the lack of) in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. My research conclusions lead to a new perspective on Little Women and a better understanding of feminism. When I originally read the novel, I thought it was a sweet, charming story; however, when I explored it through a different lens, I discovered that Louisa May Alcott was a staunch feminist, and this ideology often came through in her stories. An example of Alcott’s feminist belief system includes the way the characters of Laurie and Jo are portrayed as nonconforming to their gender-stereotypical roles. Jo vacillates between a feminist character and a more traditional role, while Laurie is given more stereotypically feminine attributes. Through Little Women, Alcott explores the various roles of women of that time period, but she does so with respect and empathy. I believe that there is much to be learned from Alcott’s novel. It is not a mere children’s novel; rather, it is a strong affirmation of feminist beliefs. When Louisa May Alcott wrote her bestseller, Little Women, it seemed to neatly fit in the genre of literature for young girls, yet, surprisingly, the novel transcends many of the gender stereotypes ideals of the nineteenth century. In Little Women, Alcott challenged society’s definition of stereotypical gender roles and pushed the boundaries of expectations that were placed on both men and women to conform to society’s standards.

Contradictions Between Thought and Action As a Source of Tension in Louisa M
Liu Yu EN2302 Level III English, Fall 2010 School of Teacher Education Kristianstad University Jane Mattisson Contradictions Between Thought and Action as a Source of Tension in Louisa M. Alcott’s Little Women The plot of Little Women is not particularly memorable because it deals with day-to-day routines in the lives of five women. i The character, Jo March, on the other hand, is highly memorable because of the contradictions between her expressed wishes and ideas and her actual actions. This essay argues that these contradictions create a tension that stimulates the reader’s interest. To demonstrate this, two categories will be investigated: gender and worldly interests. The main contradictions discussed here are Jo’s initial refusal but ultimate acceptance of her female identity; her initial rejection of but ultimate yearning for love and marriage; the financial gain versus the artistic value of writing; her love of money and expressed admiration for poverty; her rejection of favors but ultimate acceptance of these. Tension is here defined as “the conflict created by interplay of the constituent elements of a work of art” (Tate, 72). In addition, contradictions are generally regarded as signs of tension, i.e. “two elements, each of which defines the other and has logical connectives, are connected by the forces” (Empson, 235). In this essay, tension is discussed in terms of contradictions and their consequences. Previous research on Jo has focused on her character, ii it argues that she is un-ladylike. Biographical Criticsiii argue that Jo reflects Alcott’s attitude toward art and family. Besides, New Critics iv have focused on how Jo confronts with her social inadequacies.

A Reading of Greta Gerwig's Little Women (2019)
1 Innocence Lost, Understanding Gained, Unfortunately: A Reading of Greta Gerwig’s Little Women (2019) By Marnie Monahan The University of Scranton In the film Little Women (2019), the plot structure and lighting communicate a contemporary parable for how to navigate lost innocence with principled growth in the face of growing adversity presented by social pressures, especially as one grows older. Viewers come to know the protagonist, Jo March, both in her youth and her maturity through repeated use of flashbacks. The plot structure is built from juxtapositions between Jo’s youth and womanhood. The structure helps to show how a loss of innocence can open a woman’s eyes to the social issues she may face on a daily basis. The reliance on flashbacks helps the audience to identify directly with how powerfully Jo’s early experiences shaped her adult behaviors, experiences she can also nevertheless face with strength, tenacity and purpose rather than resignation to social conventions expected of a woman of her time. The time of the film is the late 1800s during the civil war in a small rural town in Massachusetts. The time-period retains contemporary resonance due to the continued struggle of women against patriarchal conventions hindering women’s dreams of social equality. The director, Greta Gerwig created another modern depiction of the classic book to create a new, feminist parable for women in 2020. The relatable nature of the film set in the 1800s, and recreated in 2019, goes to show women are still facing similar issues today that were experienced hundreds of years ago.
