Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist and poet best known for Little Women. Raised in Concord, Massachusetts among transcendentalist thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, Alcott drew heavily from her own family life to craft stories that resonated with readers worldwide. A passionate abolitionist and feminist, she served as a nurse during the Civil War and was among the first women to register to vote in Concord. Her work spans novels, short stories, and thrillers written under the pseudonym A.M. Barnard.
