A secret society that the March sisters create and name after a Charles Dicken's novel. The girls meet in the garret to contribute short stories, articles and poetry to their newspaper, the "The Pickwick Portfolio." At one of the meetings after the sisters agree to invite Laurie to be a member of their club he bursts out of his hiding spot in the closet, but promises to be a good member. The P.C. becomes a manifestation of the girl's immense creativity and imagination. It also showcases Jo's literary aspirations as the P.C.'s editor, but she is not oppressed by society's gender expectations in the club because she is able to play the role of Augustus Snodgrass. Much like the domestic space of the Marches' home, the P.C. opens its doors to Laurie and he is invited into the secret space of the sisters.
