This week, we're joined by special guest Stephanie Redekop, a PhD candidate in English literature at the University of Toronto. We dive into the second chapter of Little Women, "A Merry Christmas," which contains a scene so controversial, so rife with gender euphoric crossdressing, that the Christian Union saw fit to ban Little Women from all Sunday School libraries. You can visit Stephanie on Twitter at @stephired.
