Flavorwire: Literary Mixtape for Jo March →
toglorifythingsbecausetheyare:
A possible modern day soundtrack for a classic kick-ass literary heroine…
sewonandsewforth asked: Hehe I watch just the Christmas portion of Little Women all the time! (Even when it isn't Christmas... it's kind of a problem. XP ) I've always thought of it as a Christmas film. It's a holiday tradition with a few of the gals in my Civil War unit (I reenact) put some wassail on the stove, maybe a pie in the oven, watch LW (the Christmas portion), then go caroling in true...
stagstuff asked: So, my problem with knowing when to watch "Little Women" is that the beginning is total Christmas-porn, but by the time you get to Meg's wedding it's this stunning spring-splosion (and then the ending rain and umbrella! Augh!) Basically whenever I watch it, I yearn for it a different season than it is at the moment. Have any of you had this problem? Your tumblr is beautiful and...

smathleen asked: My book had a footnote stating that while Alcott was pro-immigration she hated the Irish. They were, at the time, generally thought to be lazy and ignorant. Which is why Jo complained about them riding her train but strove to help the Hummels and the professor. Thoughts?

“I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.”

Yup, Little Women turned...

This is important.
So I finally dragged myself out to church for the first time in a long time, with my sister, last Sunday. We stuck out like sore thumbs that were 20 years younger than the rest of the congregation. Whatever.
The point is that we sang a hymn I’d never heard of before (Deep in the darkness we begin,) and guess what tune it was sung to?
Like, I didn’t even know it was an actual Thing.

lacelicious asked: I'm confused by these images with seemingly random numbers and text on them. Like the last one of Amy and the tag says "texts from the marches". What are these???

onionjulius:
On the topic of Louisa May Alcott (because of her birthday thing tomorrow going around thingy):
I just watched Little Women (1994) again over Christmas break, and I just loved it. All over. Again.
It turns up the proto-feminism that Alcott probably had to tone down, although …
… it still puts Jo and Prof. Bhaer together in the end.
And I know that’s seen as this rather...

Why I hate people who hate Amy March (spoiler... →
atbookends:
This instead of my reading Standoff at Tiananmen.
But I was in Barnes and Nobel the other day, and this one book caught my eye — it was one of those “let’s go back in time to a fictional novel!” pieces — you know. The kind that’s been done and overdone with Romeo and Juliet (which usually completely misses the point of the play in the first place) — except this time with Little...

The History of A Squash
“Once upon a time a farmer planted a little seed. in his garden, and after a while it sprouted and became a vine and bore many squashes. One day in October, when they were ripe, he picked one and took it to market. A grocerman bought and put it in his shop. That same morning, a little girl in a brown hat and blue dress, with a round face and snub nose, went and bought it for her mother....
Listening to the Little Women soundtrack.

Amy sucks
Chapter 29 of Little Women, in which Amy chides Jo for being ‘freakish’ and not straight enough. Bitch.
It’s like, don’t force Jo to call on neighbors with you, then give her shit for not flirting and talking about dresses. All the while Jo is complimenting Amy’s artistry, impressing everyone with her kindness and fun.
Amy, I wish Jo had let you drown.
