Anne Boyd Rioux to Discuss Ongoing Relevancy of Little Women

All are invited to join the Concord Free Public Library (CFPL) in welcoming author and professor Anne Boyd Rioux for a talk about the ongoing relevancy of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. The talk will take place Saturday, January 18 at 7:00 p.m. at the Main Library (129 Main Street Concord, MA). Rioux plans to discuss the challenges of adapting the novel Little Women, as well as how each era produces its own Little Women, from the first adaption for the Broadway stage to Greta Gerwig's 2019 film.

Anne Boyd Rioux is the author or editor of six books about American women writers, including the bestselling Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why It Still Matters (Norton 2018). She is a professor of English in New Orleans and the recipient of two National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, one for public scholarship.
