3) this poem, but not an a.d.u.l.t. like me. Sorry Louisa! Stand up from your grave and correct this greatest mistake first. Then you are a true feminist.

2) Her BIO partly: As an a.d.u.l.t., Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist. In 1847, the family housed a fugitive slave for one week. In 1848 Alcott read and admired the " Declaration of Sentiments" published by the Seneca Falls Convention on women's rights............I cannot rhyme this with her poem, though she wrote only for kids, of course they'll enjoy and LOL

For a great author writer and poetess as LMA, this poem is not as funny as it should be. We have arrived in the Golden Age of Anti-Racism now, to my greatest regret I must awaken LMA from her grave to alter the context in this poem By the way, her knowledge is zero, since small feet where not possible to walk on only belong to chinese women of high positions and not to a man. Totally wrong vision, dear Louisa!
