From the author of "Little Women", this short story follows three young women who form a temperance society. Worried about their male friends’ alcohol consumption, Portia, Pauline, and Priscilla set about trying to convince the men in their town that life can still be fun, even when sober. The "Sweet P’s", as the girls are called, each wears an earring in the shape of a silver pitcher as a symbol of their society. The antithesis of the 2021 Oscar-winning film 'Another Round', 'Silver Pitchers explores the power of women to create change.

“Silver Pitchers: and Independence, a Centennial Love Story” is a 1888 collection of short stories by written by American author Louisa May Alcott. Louisa May Alcott (1832 – 1888) was an American short story writer, novelist, and poet most famous for writing the novel “Little Women”, as well as its sequels “Little Men” and “Jo's Boys”.

This book describes how the imposed Spanish colonial system altered the organization and belief systems of the native inhabitants of northern Peru during the first fifty years or so after the Spanish conquest. By centering on an area that was incorporated into the Inca empire relatively late (1460's-70's), the book offsets the Cuzco focus of much of the existing literature in Inca history and culture.
