Haley interviews Dr. LuElla D'Amico, an Associate Professor of English at the University of the Incarnate Word. They discuss the concept of childhood in North American literature, specifically girlhood, and how classic stories of girlhood help form the imagination for good relationships with the opposite sex. The conversation explores a variety of characters that demonstrate healthy femininity and masculinity in Anne of Green Gables and Little Women as well as contemporary titles that may become classics.
