Book excerpt: Raised among the New England Transcendentalists in Concord and Boston, Ms. Alcott grew up among some of the giants of American literature and history, including Emerson and Thoreau. However, her philosopher father Bronson Alcott was often unable to financially support his family, and Ms. Alcott devoted most of her life to giving her altruistic mother, her father and her sisters some financial security. During the Civil War, Ms. Alcott volunteered to nurse soldiers in Washington, D.C. but she became seriously ill after 6 weeks and never recovered her health, although that didn't stop her from working 14 hour days, writing, writing, writing. After the first volume of Little Women was published, editors began soliciting her work and paying her much higher rates. She kept right on working and was able to realize her dream of supporting her family in comfort and assisting others. Published in 1889 a year after her death, Ms. Alcott's letters and the journal supplemented with the editor's comments form a virtual autobiography, which reflects her idealism, integrity, humor and practicality. Sadly, she had most of the letters she wrote to her family destroyed (she also edited her journal), but the letters from her European trip with her sister were inadvertently saved by her father and are delightful. "I am in the garret with my papers round me, and a pile of apples to eat while I write my journal, plan stories, and enjoy the patter of rain on the roof, in peace and quiet." April 1855-age 22

Book excerpt: Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Nevertheless, her family suffered severe financial difficulties and Alcott worked to help support the family from an early age. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard and under it wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today, filmed several times. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888. Henry James called her "The novelist of children... the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom."
