That's fair, but at least Little Men-era Daisy didn't evangelize like Demi did.
Have you read Anne Boyd Rioux's Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: the Story of Little Women and Why It Still Matters? This was what got me on my current Alcott kick— you'll probably know all the biographical stuff already, but I found it really interesting to learn about the context of her family, etc., that I didn't know before. As I texted to a friend while reading it, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Louisa May Alcott are *clasped hands meme* about idealizing their fathers in their fictionalizations of their childhood experiences. (It's rather bleakly funny that Bronson Alcott was just so much that to do so, Alcott basically wrote him out of Little Women altogether...)
