Progressing Progressiveness: The Modernisation of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)

This thesis examines how Greta Gerwig’s film adaptation Little Women (2019) retains Louisa May Alcott’s 1868 eponymous novel’s progressive ideas about gender roles, marriage and women’s ambitions for its present-day audience. The theoretical foundation of this research is based on the adaptation studies written by Julie Sanders and Linda Hutcheon.
