I love the scene in Little Women when Friedrich is telling Jo that he doesn't like the stories she published while also telling her she's talented and gifted and can do something better and more real than that!!! He's so honest with her and he doesn't put her on a pedestal like Laurie did... and then she gets all offended and starts insulting him lol they are so funny

I really like this russian edition of classic books. Letting famous artists do the covers in YA style was such a simple but clever decision. According to the recent study the number of teenage readers increased, possibly thanks to these covers. I own traditional classics with blank covers but if I ever see one of these in the wild, it’ll probably make me go feral.
Here are some of my favs:

Transmasculinity Throughout Time: Lou Alcott
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3b072b3a41dc8584a67ef22c236a3f6e/fa46aafd6d2681a9-05/s540x810/75c83d2a610551767775dbbc5917094c675067e8.jpg)
Yes, you heard me. There is substantial evidence that the author of Little Women was in fact a transgender man! He actually didn’t go by the name that Little Women was published under, with family and friends he would go by Lou, Louy, or LM. His children called him “papa” and “father” and his father, Bronson Alcott, called him his son. He said in 1882, “I am more than half persuaded that I am a man’s soul, put by some freak of nature into a woman’s body.” As a child, he said in a journal, “I don’t care much for girls things. People think I’m wild and queer.” He would pass as a man at masked parties for fun, and delighted in people’s reactions. For his entire life, he expressed this identification as a man, and the character of Jo in Little Women was in part a self insert character based on this. So why don’t we hear about him as a trans man? Well, it’s just not convenient for most people to believe that a beloved book about girls becoming women was written by a man.

"I have lots of wishes, but my favorite one is to be an artist in Paris and to do fine pictures and to be the best painter in the world."
"That's what you want too, isn't it, Jo? To be a famous writer?"
"Yes, but it sounds so crass when she says it."
