Oh man I can't stand Daisy in Little Men with the lisping and the teentsy little kitchen and oh my God. I don't think I was ever a big fan of the twins from the moment they appeared. Daisy was at least more bearable in Jo's Boys, tho, heh.
It's a really interesting reminder that progress doesn't happen all at once and all in the same directions -- that people who had radical ideas in one area were often of their time or even reactionary sometimes in another. In Louisa's case, altho she was a total daddy's girl, I like to think we can REALLY see the effect of her mother's training. (Abba is like the hidden molten core of so much of LW, even tho Mrs March is a rather watered-down version of her. And Louisa took her role right up -- working herself nearly to death so her family wouldn't starve in the streets.)
