Louisa May Alcott Day

Two sisters in retro dress reading books in train compartment

Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When we arrive at this day every year, I think of her life and works, and grow nostalgic. It’s difficult not to revisit a childhood filled with books when we pause to remember one of the iconic authors I read.

But, this year… It’s different, better, and even more memorable.

Why, you no doubt ask?

Because there’s a Google Doodle to celebrate the day (of course)! And it’s trending on Twitter, which likely means that one of my childhood heroines has made it. She’s a big-time name, even! We’re all chatting about her, remembering Little Women, perhaps even recollecting her other contributions to life, literature and academia.

Her name will be more than just a blip in social-media spheres if we’re lucky. I can’t (won’t) be the only one to remember her. You all will, too, won’t you?

I want to think back to the books my grandmother gave me. They were old, aged-brown pages, and the bindings had been reinforced. And, via those much-beloved library castoff volumes, I devoured the tale of Jo and her sisters. I cried as they lost, and I laughed at those haphazard antics. I wished I could step into the pages, become a part of that bookish family, and be a part of their plays and that imaginary world.

Of course, none of that is possible. We all grow up. We learn that books are a solitary place where we can fancy freely. And, then, we go on with life.

I wonder if the Google Doodle, the Trending Twitter, and even the fact that we’re talking about Louisa May Alcott today will ultimately mean something.
