Love and Sex in Little Women (Louisa May Alcott and 19th Century Courtship)

Early Christmas gift to everyone who has been asking for more long-form content. Thank you for your support!

It might come as a surprise to some people but there are actually quite a few sex scenes in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. In this episode, we shall dive into 19th-century courtship and how Alcott writes about courtship etiquette. Laurie is based on Alcott’s ex and Friedrich to a man she wanted to marry.

I accidentally said that Louisa was 27 when Henry passed away. She was 28.
