The latest Little Women adaptation is good, isn’t it? A visual feast with a feminist framework that features your Internet Boyfriend Timothée Chalamet, it’s hard not to want to occupy its universe in its entirety.

The perfect practical boots for disturbing the patriarchy with your very being.
As one of the ultimate symbols of sartorial femininity, we’re stating the obvious when we tell you that dresses are essential in the land of Little Women - wearing one as girly as possible could be the bravest thing you do this month at least.
