FFR 112: Little Women with special guest Laura Hudson
Laura Hudson, writer and friend of the podcast, joins Anita and Carolyn this week for our discussion of Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, the latest adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel. The film has earned several Oscar nominations, but conspicuously missing is a Best Director nomination for Gerwig herself. Join us as we discuss how this retelling of the March sisters’ story brings up questions of class, race, and what a 151-year old novel has to tell us about the issues and obstacles still faced by women today.
