{"product_id":"jos-girls-christian-mcewen-9780807062111","title":"Jo's Girls: Tomboy Tales of High Adventure, True Grit, and Real Life","description":"Louisa May Alcott's energetic, ambitious, and androgynous Jo March has inspired generations of tomboys. But at the close of \u003ci\u003eLittle Women\u003c\/i\u003e even Jo's valiant tomboy spirit has been subordinated to her role as wife and mother. For \u003ci\u003eJo's Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, editor Christian McEwen has assembled a collection of fiction and memoir that looks at what it has really meant to be a tomboy from the nineteenth century to the present-and at what the refusal to turn into a \"young lady\" has implied. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors include: Toni Cade Bambara, Willa Cather, Sandra Cisneros, Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Alexis De Veaux, Annie Dillard, Nadezhda Durova, Leslie Feinberg, Emily Hiestand, Maria Hinojosa, Teresa Jordan, Jamaica Kincaid, Maxine Hong Kingston, Anne LaBastille, Ursula K.
