Tony WalkerHOST
The curse that had bided its time for ages was fulfilled at last, and her own hand wrecked her happiness forever.
Tony WalkerHOST
Death in life was her doom, and for years Forsythe secluded himself to tend with pathetic devotion the pale ghost who never by word or look could thank him for the love that outlived even such a fate as this.
Tony WalkerHOST
Everybody dies, don't they? Everybody dies, don't they? So that was Lost in a Pyramid by, or The Mummy's Curse by Louisa May Alcott.
Tony WalkerHOST
So it was published just under the initials LMA in the American periodical Frank Leslie's The New World on the 16th of January 1869.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
Well, I arrived in a gendered world, which meant that I, in my case, I read Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys and tried to encompass everything.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
But Louisa May Alcott in my childhood became my voice.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
She was, of course, a great feminist and socially conscious person of her age.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
And, you know, I guess I found writers who were speaking as if – as I might speak, and I fell in love with them.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
And books were my total refuge and, you know, place to – have wings of imagination.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
I mean, uh, you know, I, I, my idea of reading a book was that I started it and I finished it regardless of how long I had to stay up and go without sleep.
Gloria SteinemGUEST
And that was, that was very helpful, but there was no place for the idea that, uh, aside from a few voices like Louisa May Alcott, that, that there was some way of healing this wound between Dick and Jane and our, in our primers in school.
Suzanne Braun-LevineGUEST
My experience, Gloria was way ahead of me.
Sam StinsonNARRATOR
End of A Little Child the Savior Came.
Sam StinsonNARRATOR
A Little Kingdom I Possess by Louisa May Alcott.
Sam StinsonNARRATOR
A little kingdom I possess Where thoughts and feelings dwell, And very hard I find the task Of governing it well.
Sam StinsonNARRATOR
For passion tempts and troubles me, A wayward will misleads, And selfishness its shadow casts On all my will and deeds.
Alyssa RosenbergHOST
I think that Kirsten Dunst's performance as Amy in that 1994 adaptation of Little Women is just, it's different, right? It creates a different quality in the performance, a different kind of suspension of disbelief, a, there is a more dramatic jump forward when, because, I mean, you literally have years pass in between the first and second halves of the story.
Alyssa RosenbergHOST
Um, and look, I, you know, [chuckles] I have a lot of strong feelings about Louisa May Alcott and Little Women, um, and sort of how that particular story should be adapted, but I don't think...
Alyssa RosenbergHOST
Like, there is a real difference there.
Alyssa RosenbergHOST
I don't actually think, like, substituting an adult in for a child, um, is always necessarily going to work.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
what happened at the end and I was not ready to accept it.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
And all of Louisa May Alcott's books, Little Women especially.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
But I also loved Joe's Boys and Little Men.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
I think getting to read Joe's story as an adult was really encouraging for me of like,

Kendyll KeeneGUEST
But we went to Colonial Williamsburg and Monticello when I was in my peak era of reading American Girl.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
And it was just the greatest experience.
Kendyll KeeneGUEST
time of my life and we all wore our little costumes it was fabulous I mean bringing history to life and we got to visit Louisa May Alcott's orchard house in Massachusetts that meant a lot to me that's actually when somebody told us that they were remaking Little Women in 2019
