One of the things that never stops bothering me regarding Little Women, is the constant misrepresentation of chapter "Friend". In this chapter Jo is staying in New York and she is working for a sensational magazine called "Weekly Volcano". There are people who say that this makes Jo a "feminist" and that Friedrich is a "horrible person" because he doesn't like sensational stories. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the chapter, Jo calls these sensational stories "trash". She doesn't get a long with the editor who calls Jo a "disposable hack" and to top of this all Jo begins to get panic attacks caused by the stories she is writing. She is also being paid under minimum weight. People who hate Friedrich in this chapter should get their head checked, and also the name of the chapter is "Friend" for a reason.
