Jo March and Sensational Writing (Chapter Friend With Christina Scott)

Chapter Friend is one of the most misadapted chapters in Little Women. This is the chapter where Jo is in New York and she begins to write sensational stories to a magazine called Weekly Volcano. Jo gets anxiety and even a mental breakdown with this work. Friedrich helps her to get out of this dark place. Unfortunately, majority of Little Women adaptations play it in a way “Jo is a feminist when she writes and Friedrich is a terrible person” when in reality Jo calls these stories “trash” and Friedrich never critices Jo’s writing. He encourages her to find her voice as a writer.
