Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Louisa May Alcott is best known for her creation of the classic work "Little Women" , the story of four sisters growing up in a New England town during the mid 1800s. Alcott's father, Bronson, was a philosopher and educational reformer whose idealistic projects kept the family in poverty; financial security did not come until "Little Women". However, the Alcott family was rich in their friends, which included such noted figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Like her father, Alcott practiced her beliefs, working for the right of women to vote and for the temperance (anti-drinking) movement. The March sistersMeg, Jo, Beth, and Amy have been immortalized in the movies as well; the most famous "Jo" was Katherine Hepburn.

Rose in Bloom Louisa May Alcott Search all of Louisa May Alcott Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) is primarily remembered for her children’s classics, especially for Little Women and its sequels. She was however a multi-faceted personality, possessed of a deeply independent spirit and reforming energy. Contemporary research has revealed that Louisa Alcott wrote works aimed at adult audiences also, though under a pseudonym. She was also active as a nurse and a suffragette. Louisa May Alcott, the second daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail “Abba” May was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832. In 1840 the family moved to Concord. Louisa enjoyed acting out plays with her sisters, which she had written, and also spent time with family friends Thoreau and Emerson. In 1843 the Alcott family took part in an experimental communal village known as the Fruitlands. Unfortunately the project failed and the family returned to Concord in 1845. Louisa later wrote of this experience in Transcendental Wild Oats Despite his intellectual and social standing, Bronson Alcott was not a good provider and the family moved back to Boston in 1849. Feeling more and more responsible for her family's financial needs Louisa started taking on a variety of jobs. She and her elder sister Anna taught small children and mended and washed laundry in an effort to help provide for the growing Alcott family.

Nancy Imelda Schafer CREDIT SOURCE: All information contained herein was obtained at the Camden County Free Library, Voorhees NJ, USA BIOGRAPHY: Bronson Alcott founded several schools, but all of them failed, forcing Abigail and her daughters to undertake the financial support of the family. Later, Alcott often remarked that her entire career was inspired by her desire to compensate for her family's early discomfort. Alcott taught school, took in sewing, and worked briefly as a domestic servant. At age sixteen she began writing, convinced that she could eventually earn enough money to alleviate the family's poverty. In 1851, her first poem was published in Peterson's Magazine under the pseudonym Flora Fairfield, bringing Alcott little money but a great deal of confidence. It was during the ensuing years that Alcott published, as A. M. Barnard, a number of sensational serial stories, which were both popular and lucrative. Alcott is best known for her sentimental yet realistic depictions of nineteenth-century domestic life. Her Little Women series

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Contributing Editor: Elizabeth Keyser Classroom Issues and Strategies "Actress," the third chapter of Louisa May Alcott's novel Work , provides an ideal introduction to the author, for throughout her career Alcott was concerned with woman as actressboth on and off stage. Students, however, may be perplexed as to why Christie equates acting first with rebellion, then with the loss of her womanliness. Thus they need to understand that professional acting in Alcott's day placed women beyond the pale of respectable society. Even as amateur theatricals were becoming a staple of Victorian parlor entertainment, the exposure of women to public view was still thought to compromise their innocence, purity, and, in a word, virtue. But Alcott's contemporaries may also have believed that the element of duplicity involved in acting was incompatible with their ideal of woman as simple, artless, without guile. This disjunction between woman and actress is suggested by the title of a reprinted Alcott sensation story, "LaJeune: or, Actress and Woman" (one of four stories with actress heroines in Freaks of Genius ). The male narrator mistrusts the brilliant actress "LaJeune," but though he proves her vaunted youth a fraud, he finds it perpetrated for the sake of her invalid husband, not, as he suspected, for her opium-eating or gambling habit. Like "LaJeune," Alcott's actress stories imply that a woman can preserve her integrity while pursuing a public career but that a patriarchal society forces women to become actresses in their private lives. Thus, Judith Fetterley has observed of Jean Muir, the professional actress turned governess in Alcott's best-known sensation story, "Behind a Mask," that in order to analyze the needs of every person in the house, Muir must be supremely conscious. Ironically, therefore, the innocence, simplicity, even stupidity imputed to her is in fact incompatible with her role (6).

Later on Louisa's publisher, Thomas Niles, told her that he wanted "a girls story" from her. Having spent her life with three of the most interesting girls, Louisa wrote for two and a half months and produced Little Women based on her own experiences growing up as a young women with three other sisters. The novel, published in 1868, was an instant success and sold more than 2,000 copies immediately. Alcott's story had launched her into stardom and helped to alleviate the family's financial problems.
