Alcott's Imaginary Heroes: The Little Women Legacy

In the 150 years since the publication of Louisa May Alcotts Little Women Meg Jo Beth and Amy have continued to speak to readers: sometimes comforting sometimes challenging always inspiring. In this anthology fans across the world--writers teachers homemakers religious scholars stop-motion animators and ecologists--celebrate the March sisters lives and loves and like Jo put their own beloved imaginary heroes in the context of the modern world. For readers who played dress-up with Meg at the Moffatts party-- who smirked a little when Amy got busted for the pickled limes-- who cried when Beth died-- who are still wondering how Jo didnt end up with Laurie-- this is for you.Essays by: KL Allendoerfer Michelle J.
