Begun in 2010, this blog offers analysis and reflection by Susan Bailey on the life, works and legacy of Louisa May Alcott and her family. Susan is an active member and supporter of the Louisa May Alcott Society, the Fruitlands Museum and Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House.
“Discover Concord” features article on “Alcott’s Hidden Critics: The Secret Reviews of Little Women.”
The Spring 2021 issue of Discover Concord magazine features all the details of my current project with Lorraine Tosiello in unearthing and archiving personal references to Little Women in diaries, journals, school projects, blog posts, fan fiction, etc.
We are accepting submissions now – please scour your attic or cellar, dust off that old journal or book report, and send it to us! All accepted entries will be archived on the Louisa May Alcott Society website for future use by fans, scholars and teachers.
