I don't like the either/or of this question, as it implies that if you're independent and smart, you *can't* be having more fun or getting what you want. One would normally think that being smart would help you get what you want...and Jo did...so suck it, LJ question. :-P
Anyway, I've always been a Jo person. Partially for one really obvious reason--she's one of the very VERY few characters out there with whom I share my name (uh, close enough, anyway). But...mostly because she was smart and wanted to write and teach and love who she wanted to love. (Especially the writing-teaching thing. It turns out most of my childhood literary heroines are all writer/teachers. Thanks, mom.)
