Today is International Women's Day. I can't decide if Louisa May Alcott is really quite anti-feminist or otherwise. There's something to be said for her letting Rose run around, but the emphasis on housework was a bit jarring to me.

(Also, I can't recall if I've read this book before. The account of Worm nearly going blind from reading sounded really familiar, but it could have been because it's also one of my fears!)
