Thanks to the women of the Georgetown book club for having me at their summer meeting to discuss Marmee & Louisa and My Heart Is Boundless. It was a great crowd, very knowledgeable about the Alcotts and Mays.
 Here's the link to an interview I did in Dallas last winter about Marmee & Louisa -- http://irvingtx.swagit.com/play/02122014-911  For Women’s History Month, the Providence Journal explored the relevance today of Anne Hutchinson, “founding mother, feminist, religious zealot, she-devil.” To read the story, by Bill Van Siclen, click on the link: http://www.providencejournal.com/features/lifestyle/content/20140302-founding-mother-anne-hutchinson-religious-zealot-feminist-she-devil.ece  The Pequot Library of Southport CT hosted a Marmee & Louisa talk as the book came out in paperback, joining its companion, My Heart Is Boundless, a paperback original. Other bloggers have been doing interviews on the two Alcott books.
