The March girls, except for Beth, hated dreary, dark November and that was BEFORE Father took ill and Jo cut off her hair (her one true beauty!) for money.

Louisa May Alcott’s middle name was her mother’s maiden name. March was Louisa May Alcott’s little joke about the little women.

This prompt had to have come from a horror and dystopian fiction writer. And it did! Thank you Melissa for keeping it very real and to The Bad Influence for keeping it realer-ist-ic.

And check out James Knight’s story for more March and more women.
