Running until May 26, the exhibition "Louisa May Alcott: Family Life and Publishing Ventures" at Harvard's Houghton Library features materials on the Alcott family and the publication of Little Women. It's curated by Joel Myerson and Daniel Sheehy, editors of Alcott's thrillers, journals, and letters.
This book is fantastic. I first read it in fifth grade and it still brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face every time I read it. It stars the March sisters; Jo a tom boy writer who scribbles away and is a strong willed free spirit, while Beth is a sweet girl who never says a mean word to anyone, Meg is the motherly oldest and Amy is the childish youngest who must be surrounded by pretty things. It is a very touching story where four young girls become young ladies and their interactions with eachother and society. It is an utterly splendid story.
