Thanks. Interesting the author paints Alcott as embracing an egalitarian vision of work while ignoring her devaluation of the work of those women most likely to do it, immigrants.
Perhaps they mistook heavily veiled satire as A Modest Proposal?When I first read it, I thought it might be satire attacking bigotry, but the few secondary sources that reference it do not give any clue that it is.
