Little Women / 小妇人

Little Women enters the wiki as the famous [[LouisaMayAlcott|Louisa May Alcott / 奥尔科特]] work discussed in 60.闲聊伟大作家们的八卦（第一弹）. The episode uses it less as a plot object than as an author-image problem: the book’s wholesome, child-friendly reputation can obscure Alcott’s reported frustration with writing for children and her stronger interest in Gothic or darker fiction.

The title had already been named in Classic Reading Complexity through 49.李乌鸦来了！聊聊我们为啥爱阅读, where familiar classics are not treated as mandatory reverence or easy dismissal. Episode 60 adds a biographical layer: the work that defines an author for readers may not be the work that best reflects the author’s own taste.
