Show Notes

This week, we’re joined by Gregory Eiselein, current president of the Louisa May Alcott Society and Donnelly Professor of English and University Distinguished Teaching Scholar at Kansas State University. We're also joined by Anne Phillips, former president of the Louisa May Alcott Society and Associate Head of the Graduate Faculty of English at Kansas State University. Together, Dr. Eiselein and Dr. Phillips have co-edited four books on Alcott and Little Women. They bring entire lifetimes of expertise and experience to this episode, a deep dive into Chapter 19: Amy’s Will, which sees Beth becoming sicker and Amy becoming… a Catholic bio queen?
