People acquire values, attitudes, and beliefs from a number of sources, including families, schools, and churches. One set of values, attitudes, and beliefs concerns the notion of the nuclear family as it is understood in the United States; and this set of ideas is perpetuated as much in the popular media as it is through other, more traditional institutions. As was the case in other industrialized countries, notions about nuclear family in the US developed in tandem with industrialization (primarily in the nineteenth century in the US) in major urban areas. The middle-class definition of family wherein the father/husband went out to work and the mother/wife managed the private home became the ruling paradigm, one which continues to exert its influence into the present day, even though most families do not fit the paradigm. This study examines how the nineteenth-century ideology of the nuclear family is reproduced by way of popular media, specifically Louisa May Alcott's novel Little Women and three of its later film adaptations (1933, 1949, and 1994). For more than 133 years, the story and its adaptations have reproduced nuclear family ideology, and the ideology remains virtually unchanged despite substantial social change over time.
