About the author
Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, on November 29, 1832, Louisa May Alcott grew up in a deeply intellectual but often financially strained family led by the reformer and educator Bronson Alcott. The family later settled in Concord, Massachusetts, where she moved in a circle that included major Transcendentalist thinkers and began writing early.
Before finding lasting fame, she worked at many jobs and also served as a nurse during the Civil War, an experience that informed her book Hospital Sketches. Her great breakthrough came with Little Women in 1868, a novel drawn in part from life with her sisters; its success led to sequels including Little Men and Jo’s Boys.
Alcott also wrote poetry, short fiction, and sensational stories under pseudonyms such as A. M. Barnard. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888, but her books have remained widely read for generations because of their warmth, humor, and clear-eyed feeling for everyday family life.
