Have you seen LittleWomen yet?
nine times before entering middle school wishes they were a Jo. But I knew I was an Amy, and that is a little thing I like to call self-awareness.
In film after novel after film, audiences learn to identify the humanity in a male villain who has often slain entire cities. Is it too much to ask that we examine the complexities in a young girl who acts out against her older sister and don’t simply write her off as a spoiled bitch? In college, I took a class called Gender, Class and the Nineteenth Century Novel with one boy and nine women. That boy loved women like Jo and often spoke over us in classroom discussions. Once, when I mentioned wanting to be famous, he was repulsed—because he was comfortable with women who were overlooked geniuses, who published with pen names, whose success fell upon them, but admitting to needing attention like water was crass.
When Amy is older, living in Paris and talking with Timothee Chalamet, she explains why love isn’t always romantic, why she’ll never be a genius, why marrying for money is a necessity and her only means for survival as a woman in the nineteenth century who is not a genius.
