236. BANNED BOOKS SERIES: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Join the conversation by letting us know what you think about the episode!

The 1st book in our 2026 Banned Books Series is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. Whether you've read the book or not, many of us know the story of Little Women. In this episode we go beyond the story told in the pages of Little Women to discuss Louisa May Alcott, how Little Women was influenced by her own life, the effect the book has had on so many, the movie adaptations, etc. We also dive into why it was important to us to include Little Women in our Banned Books Series. 

If you've read Little Women, seen any of the movies or other adaptations, we'd love to know your thoughts. If you haven't read the book or seen any of the movies, why not - not interested, don't think it applies to you, haven't had time, etc.? Join the conversation and let us know!
