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. |
