Louisa May Alcott's energetic, ambitious, and androgynous Jo March has inspired generations of tomboys. But at the close of Little Women even Jo's valiant tomboy spirit has been subordinated to her role as wife and mother. For Jo's Girls, editor Christian McEwen has assembled a collection of fiction and memoir that looks at what it has really meant to be a tomboy from the nineteenth century to the present-and at what the refusal to turn into a "young lady" has implied.

Descriere

From her classic novel LITTLE WOMEN, Louisa May Alcott's energetic and androgynous character Jo March has inspired generations of tomboys, but eventually Jo submitted to the role of wife and mother. Here an assortment of women writers push the tomboy narrative beyond the boundaries of children's literature to reveal the determined tomboy spirit and the variety of paths taken by real life tomboys as they navigate adolescence and adulthood.
