Jo March Reality vs Unrealistic Expectations (Little Women Video Essay)

Hello

A great episode turned into a video essay. For this episode, I am joined by LW blogger Christina Scott and we are chatting about the toxic elements in Jo´s and Laurie´s relationship and Jo´s personal growth in the novel. Also about her self-image and how that reflects her way of thinking. We will also be discussing about the elements within Jo that the film makers like to erase (many of these have to do with book Jo's feminine qualities). One of the biggest problems within Little Women research, is the "not like the other girls" phenomenon, and to many Jo rerpesents that, when in fact, this kind of behavior is actually quite harmful, and the book Jo grows out of it.
