Best known as the author of Little Women , Louisa May Alcott (1832-88) grew up in a community of New England transcendentalists that included Thoreau and Emerson.
Because her learned but impractical father was a poor provider, she supported her family by writing stories for magazines while she was still a teenager.
Alcott worked in Washington, D.
, during the Civil War as a nurse, recording her experiences in Hospital Sketches, and her many novels are particularly noteworthy for their portraits of strong, self-reliant heroines.
