and poor Louisa, from a very, very early age and often actually starving and freezing cold , did hard, manuel labour and still was chastised for complaining or being angry. It was pure luck she even survived her childhood and still her father let this happen ..And let his wife and other children too. He outlived them all.
AMAZING!!! Thank YOU and ALOHA MS CHEEVER and everyone else at WGGHForum and elsewhere who are making this happen -- helping writers spread joy and lighting candles in lockstep with them in order to ignite the human soul for forevermore (i cannot wait to read Moods LOL-LOL)...
This is a great look at Louisa May Alcott and how the stars came together to make her who she was. Susan Cheever uses her own work to analyze LMA's life and works. I look forward to reading her book.
Bravo Susan most informative and entertaining looking forward to reading your book which Im going to order online now. Thanks for your great endeavours on LMA...she was such a lovely talented soul.
Susan...heres a fascinating subject for you to research and write about...shes an enigma but deeply flawed and didnt treat women very well despite being a gay icon she badly needs rescueing from the LGBT community who have practically deified her..the real story is much more interesting, she is the character behind the BBC series 'Gentleman Jack".
For me louisa may alcott was a one hit wonder (though --what a HIT!!) I tried her other books, and they were pretty much unreadable, including little men.
At 11:50, the speaker gives the worst advice I've ever heard on a video. She advises parents to tell their children they'll “never amount to anything" to motivate them to succeed so they can prove their parents wrong. The speaker lies and says that psychological studies back up this approach. I'd like to see one such study. I'm sure they don't exist. Just because something worked for Louisa May Alcott doesn't mean it should be applied to everyone.
This woman has so much humility. It's inspiring to listen to her.
I from Caracas Venezuela, and I like to read the Louisa Books they are great!
I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to hear this! I feel like I'm there in person. Thank you for sharing.

What a great talk, and I enjoyed hearing her remarks about her relationship with her father.

If susan were a professor i would enjoy her classes!
I much preferred An Old-Fashioned Girl, Rose in Bloom, Eight Cousins, etc., to Little Women and Little Men, when I was young.
This was awesome. Thank you!
I had never heard that Laurie was inspired by Henry Thoreau. I have read accounts that Fritz was, though!
so frustrating that we cant hear the questions.
Do you know if there has been a production of a biography of Louisa May Alcott
Good points. Why is there so much snubbing of Louisa and her brilliant work?
My conclusion we need more female publishers
I had no idea there was! Perhaps those snubbers don't matter much as this tale appears to pull stronger on the reading public than the snubbers.

Dam. That first chick needs to slow the hell down. People are there to see you. And the other lady. Have fun with it.
