About Author

Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) was an American novelist, poet, and social reformer best known for her classic novel Little Women (1868). Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and raised in Concord, Massachusetts, she grew up in a transcendentalist household, influenced by thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Alcott worked as a teacher, governess, and Civil War nurse before achieving literary success. Though she initially wrote thrillers under a pseudonym, Little Women and its sequels brought her lasting fame. A strong advocate for women’s rights and abolitionism, Alcott used her writing to challenge societal norms and promote progressive ideals.
