This month, read snippets of Lizzie's 1846 diary; explore Eight Cousins, which is celebrating its 150th publication anniversary; and learn how the Alcotts responded to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

Classic autumn Alcott research and coffee vibes

What did August look like for the Alcotts? I was curious, so I did some digging, wrote a post on my Substack, and called it the Alcott Almanac. Take a look at jillfuller.substack.com. This might be a monthly thing, so subscribe to get the next post in September!

- A sign for Narnia

Did you find them all??

"July had come, and haying begun; the little gardens were doing finely and the long summer days were full of pleasant hours."
~ Louisa May Alcott, Little Men

My vegetable garden and pollinator patch are in full growth this hot July in Wisconsin. I can't help but think of the Alcotts working in their own gardens when I'm out here weeding and watering.

My weekend reading included this new Little Women retelling by , , and . We've got refreshing and original q***r narratives, explorations of women's health and friendships, and an extremely relatable mother-daughter relationship unlike any I've read in an LW take before. The authors pulled from extensive research on Louisa's sisters, coupled with key details from Little Women to reimagine new stories for the other Marches. Highly recommend! If you've read it already, what did you think?

My shelf of women's history books to celebrate Women's History Month. The harder and darker that things get lately, I find myself turning to the examples of my historic heroines, including Louisa and Abigail Alcott, as guideposts. Here's Abigail in 1846: "Truth never is popular...we want the Poem but we must have the Protest too. Declare the truth tho' it bring the condemnation of the whole world on your head..."

Here's to declaring our truths. To the Poem and to the Protest.

"She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain." Know which Alcott book that's from? (The photo is from shelving books at work the other day. One perk of being a librarian is that I have a lovely view.)

Happy Holidays, Louisa friends! There were several Alcott books under the tree for me this Christmas: Work, my newest favorite Alcott book, and a boxed set of the Little Women trilogy published in 1946. Did you have an Alcott holiday? You still have time to celebrate by listening to our newest holiday bonus episode!
