Does “Little Women” stand the test of time?

For a classic written over 150 years ago, this book has an uphill battle to stay relevant in today’s pop culture. Yet, somehow, it keeps being mentioned, referenced, and remade into movies and TV shows. It makes sense because who doesn’t relate to a story about four sisters just trying to navigate work, relationships, and self-discovery? 

This week, we read Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Sierra Marshall, who is an Amy at heart, joins me today to talk about the classic that keeps coming to the forefront of cultural conversations time and time again. 

In this episode we cover: 

• Which March sisters we relate most to 
• How Louisa May Alcott was able to write about the modern woman over 150 years ago
• Why Amy is Sierra’s favorite character in this book 

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will leave you calling your sister (or your girlfriends) to tell them you love them.
