Summary
Little Wome: Jo and Amy, Two Sides Of The Same Coin
In this collaboration with Emiloid, we explore why film makers put Jo and Amy against one another in Little Women. Do they have more in common than we think? Amy and Jo, not so different after all. Why on earth the filmmakers think it is a good idea to have the two sisters fight over a guy when in the novel they both find Laurie lazy and unproductive (and Amy eventually becomes the one who helps him to shape up his act). Little Women is a coming of age story, both Amy and Jo grow as people.

Summary
Little Women: Jo, Rey and Other Strong (But Lonely) Female Characters
This time Emily and I are discussing the portrayal of strong female characters in the media, and when did loneliness become a mark of being strong. Also discussing Louisa May Alcott´s own loneliness and her search for love and acceptance.
