Amy and Jo Two Sides Of The Same Coin (Little Women Essay)
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. 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? Watch and find out, as we talk about the dynamics of these two characters and how they've been portrayed in movies.

Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast:
Melodie I love this podcast! The host knows more, digs deeper, and makes better connections than any other LMA/Little Women researcher I’ve seen. I would consider myself a big LMA/Little Women fan, and I’d say I know more about the two than the average person (or average fan even), but I always learn something new listening to this podcast. I’m the admin for “The Little Women Book Club” on Facebook, and our members all really love this podcast. If you’re an LMA/Little Women fan you will love it, too!
