About the Author

Louisa May Alcott (born November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania, United States—died March 6, 1888 in Boston, Massachusetts), was an American author best known for her children's books, most notably Little Women.

She spent the majority of her life in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, where she grew up among Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Parker, and Henry David Thoreau. Her education was largely guided by her father, initially at his groundbreaking Temple School in Boston and later at home. Alcott recognised early on that her father was unable to provide for his wife and four daughters; following the failure of Fruitlands, a utopian community he founded, Louisa Alcott developed a life-long concern for her family's welfare. She briefly taught, worked as a domestic, and then began writing.
