Please notice that Little Women podcast has it's focus on the book canon. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ex Laddie Wisniewski and friend of the Alcott sisters Alf Whitman and Friedrich is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who Alcott wanted to marry and the German poet Goethe (her favorite writer). I also firmly believe that Alcott planned the marriages in Little Women, years before she wrote the book, you can read more about that here archiveofourow...
Little Women podcast, does not either support any lies and misinformation that Greta Gerwig has spread or any false narratives presented in the 2019 film.

Here´s what listeners have said about the Little Women podcast:

What a beautiful podcast! It’s so insightful and entertaining. It understands the characters perfectly (especially Laurie), I love it

As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March.

I love your Little Women content. Thank you for sharing all your studies and research! I read the book earlier this year for the first time and I fell in love with Jo and Fritz’s relationship. I’m so glad I binged listened to your podcast to further my love for them. It also kickstarted an obsession with LMA too, she’s such an interesting woman and moved around in so many circles.
I can’t believe there are people that still don’t get Jo and Fritz. While reading I found it very obvious that Jo was falling for him even if Jo hadn’t realized it yet herself (I mean the girl didn’t shut up about his hands and how nice he is!). My heart melted at the moment when it says (rephrasing here:) ‘if Jo could’ve seen the Professor kissing the picture of her before going to bed, she would’ve known why he was visiting her hometown’ 😭 I see here Jo’s influence on Friedrich. Being with her and knowing her, encourages him to be more active, take initiative to things unknown, go find answers to his questions, try finding another job for bettering his nephew’s life.
Honestly, inheriting a big ol house and taking in a bunch of kids to raise sounds like the dream. I'd do the same
I think Louisa had that idea of aunt leaving her the big house, very early on. It is quite lovely to read her diaries and Louisa's ideas of her own school.
I wonder what Greta's reason for making the film could have been?
She only seems to care about money. Nice to see you back. I hope you are doing okay :)
For me, she wanted just using Little Women to defend her ideological visions about feminism and "feminin empowerment".
Oh I agree with that as well. Tbh I don't think she really understands feminism. In so many of her movies, her female characters are obnoxius, and put other women down, she objectifies male characters, and makes mockery of them, even when the male characters behave better than the female characters.
In the novel, Laurie says himself that Jo and Amy changed roles in his heart. Perhaps he did think he "had to be part of the March family" at first, which made him lean towards Jo, a clearly unsuitable match for him, given both their dispositions. But I do believe that Amy was the right one for him. There was no mistake and no choosing "second best" on his part, in my opinion. He went from a reckless, spoiled boy to a mature, confident man, who knows his true heart.
Well said. In Louisa May Alcott's copy of Goethe's "Wilhelm Meister" there is a note written by Louisa when Wilhem falls to Natalia, (after his stormy relationship with Mariana), Louisa had written word "beautiful". Wilhelm is very much a Laurie type of character. This note is from the time when Louisa was about 18 (If I remember correctly), so yeah, Louisa planned both Amy and Laurie and Jo and Friedrich relationships, wayy before she even wrote Little Women. Laurie's growth from immature to mature, is the biggest problem in all LW adaptations, the lack of it.
