Interesting, but not as riveting as it might have been if I had adored Little Women from a young age. The one thing I didn't know already was that, like Caroline Ingalls, Abba Alcott lost a son between her third and fourth daughters. Perhaps, by that logic, Charlotte, not Henrietta, should have been the tomboy of the all-of-a-kind family. Except eventually they had a brother.
Where did I recently read an article about Bronson Alcott? I do not recall that it mentioned March at all, but that novel must have inspired this article, which I read fairly recently. Aha, thank you Haitch and SFP, despite Kal and RDC not remembering anything from the New Yorker and my therefore doubting my own memory, it was indeed thence.
