An Old-Fashioned Girl

By: Alcott, Louisa May

Fairly typical of Alcott. Alcott’s presentation of the liberation of women, it’s methods and ideals are very interesting to compare to the current iteration of that movement. There are humorous meta-textual insertions throughout the book that give you the idea that Alcott enjoyed writing what she did but understood that it wouldn’t be thought of as great literature.
