For the past 150 years or so (but especially since the December 2019 release of Greta Gerwig’s Little Women), people have been asking us, “Vulture, Vulture! Which March sister am I? I simply must know!†After all, by the law of Louisa May Alcott, every group of women consists of some combination of the author’s four main characters, the Hippocratic temperaments incarnate: mature Meg, fearless Jo, sweet Beth, or bratty Amy. So we channeled our spiritual connection to Louisa’s ghost to bring you the answer, once and for all.
