About the author
1832–1888 · Victorian
Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, the daughter of the transcendentalist educator Bronson Alcott, with Emerson and Thoreau as family friends. She worked as a teacher, seamstress and Civil War nurse (Hospital Sketches, 1863) and wrote sensational stories under a pseudonym before Little Women (1868–69), drawn from her own family, made her famous. Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) followed. She was active in abolition and women’s suffrage.
