THE LITTLE WOMAN May Alcott Nieriker

May Alcott failed spectacularly countless times before becoming a great artist. Immortalized by her sister as the vain, vivacious Amy in Little Women, the real youngest “March” sister, May, was a conscientious, creative, and courageous artist whose enthusiastic energy lifted everyone around her. Travel with Katie to Orchard House, where the Alcotts lived 175 years ago, and see the world as May saw it: beautiful, joyful, and full of possibility. Guest Jan Turnquist is the executive director of Orchard House, and director and co-executive producer of the Emmy award-winning documentary Orchard House: Home of the Little Women. Music featured in this episode includes music by Wayne Jones, Late Night Feeler, Esther Abrami, Aaron Kenny, and Sir Cubworth. Want to help us “make history”? Become a Patron or Donate here!
