With their father at the Civil War battlefront, and their saintly mother, Marmee, as they called her, working to support her family, the holiday would be void of many of its traditional pleasures. With the dollar Marmee said they might spend, the girls each settled on buying simple gifts for their mother and for the Hummel family down the road; and receiving, in kind, surprise treats of ice cream and bonbons from rich old Mr. Lawrence next door. The girls resolved to face life as Pilgrims, to overcome their weaknesses, and be "good little women" by the time their father returned. The oldest, Meg, determined to enjoy her work more and fret less about her looks. The tomboy, Jo, pledged to better control her temper, upgrade her writing abilities and develop feminine qualities. Amy desired to be less selfish and less vain concerning her beautiful golden hair. Everyone believed Beth, the home-body, to be perfect, but she earnestly prayed to overcome her fear of people. The girls labored for the next year to acquire these qualities, with much success and occasional failure.

Notable American Unitarians Louisa May Alcott Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), best known as the author of Little Women , was an advocate of abolition, women's rights, and temperance. Her stories, novels, and poems helped to support the Alcott family, and most have now been republished, widening her reputation beyond that of children's author and bringing fresh critical notice to her work. Louisa was the second daughter of Bronson Alcott and Abigail May, who met while Abigail was visiting her brother, Samuel J. May The couple moved to Philadelphia, where their first daughter Anna was born. They lived in Germantown when Louisa arrived on November 29, 1832. Before Louisa's second birthday they returned to Boston for the opening of Bronson Alcott's unconventional Temple School, which lasted almost five years. Elizabeth was born in June, 1835, and Abby May five years later. By that time the Alcotts were living, for the first of several times, in Concord, Massachusetts. Under the wing of Ralph Waldo Emerson , Alcott recovered from the failure of his Temple School and looked about for new projects.

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. 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. In 1852 Louisa published her first poem "Sunlight” in Peterson's magazine under the pseudonym, Flora Fairfield. Her first published short story was “The Rival Painters”.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History ALCOTT, LOUISA MAY , author. Alcott spent her early years in and around Boston, where her transcendentalist father, Bronson, wrote, lectured, and established short-lived experimental primary schools. Her mother, Abigail May, was an early and ardent abolitionist and involved in many contemporary issues including feminism, dietary reforms, and the causes of poverty. Alcott grew up surrounded by the writers and activist friends of her parents such as Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Theodore Parker, the Peabody sisters, William Lloyd Garrison, Orestes Brownson, and Margaret Fuller. Although Alcott associated transcendentalism with impracticality and fuzzy thinking, she was deeply affected by the abolitionist cause. Her active role in her mother's struggles with the family's poverty caused by Bronson's economic vagaries led Alcott to feminism. For reasons of health and temperament, she manifested her allegiance with the suffrage movement more in her writings than in public. Alcott began writing as an adolescent, publishing her first story, "The Rival Prima Donnas," in a theatrical paper. She called the story, which featured two actresses pitted against one another professionally and personally, "rubbish" and followed it quickly with

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fourth Edition Paul Lauter, General Editor Louisa May Alcott Louisa May Alcott is best known for her children's novel Little Women (1868), but there are almost three hundred works in the Alcott canon. In much of this writing Alcott, who never married, ostensibly proposes that women's true work is found in marriage and family, yet her journals and letters illustrate the dichotomy between her own life and her fictional world. Compared with the lives of many of her heroines and contemporaries, Alcott's life was atypical. Louisa was born in 1832 to Abigail May (Abba) and Amos Bronson Alcott. Her parents were closely tied to many important philosophical and social issues of the day—Transcendentalism, abolition, women's suffrage, and educational reform. Close family friends, including Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller, and William Garrison, composed a virtual Who's Who of the time. Although the Alcott girls were exposed to great ideas and surrounded by books, the family was impoverished and often moved like vagabonds to smaller and smaller quarters, a consequence of Bronson's inability to provide financial support reliably. Louisa's impractical father was determined to implement his experimental teaching methods, but his efforts met with little success. After the dismal failure of his Utopian experiment in communal living at Fruitlands in 1843-1844, parodied in Louisa's "Transcendental Wild Oats" (1873), the task of supporting the family largely fell to Abba, with help from her relatives and from Emerson. In 1858, the Alcotts purchased Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, with the help of Emerson and Abba's relatives, but the family struggled financially until Louisa's success with

She is a daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott. When she was about two years of age her parents removed to Boston, and in her eighth year to Concord, Massachusetts At the age of eleven she was brought under the influence of the community that endearored to establish itself near Harvard, in Worcester County. Thoreau was for a time her teacher; but she was instructed mainly by her father. She began to write for publication at the age of sixteen, but with no marked success for fifteen years. During that time she devoted ten years to teaching. In 1862 she went to Washington as a volunteer nurse, and for many months labored in the military hospitals. At this time she wrote to her mother and sisters letters containing sketches of hospital life and experience, which on her return were revised and published in book form (Boston, 1863), and attracted much attention. In 1866 she went to Europe to recuperate her health, which had been seriously impaired by her hospital work, and on her return in 1867 she wrote "Little Women," which was published the following year, and made her famous.

Bronson Alcott (1799-1893) Abigail May Alcott (1800-1877) Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Anna Bronson Alcott (1831-1893) Elizabeth Sewall Alcott (1835-1858) Abba May Alcott (1840-1879) R enowned for her classic novels LITTLE WOMEN and LITTLE MEN, Louisa May Alcott's passion for literature and the intellectual life were shaped in the bosom of her family. One of four daughters of the prominent Transcendentalist and pioneering educational innovator, Bronson Alcott, and his wife, Abigail May, who distinguished herself in the Abolitionist, Suffrage, and other reform causes of the period, Louisa May was born in Pennsylvania, but grew up in Boston and later in Concord , where she associated directly with her parents' circle which included the Emersons Thoreaus , Hawthornes, and Ripleys. Accustomed to the straightened circumstances to which her father's idealism perpetually condemned the family, Louisa began to write stories at an early age to supplement the family income. Said Emerson of her genteel novels, "She is a natural source of stories... She is and is to be, the poet of children. She knows their angels." But as recent scholarship has demonstrated, the mature Louisa May also knew about the demons which people the human soul. Her tales of Gothic fiction, written behind the mask of pseudonyms, reveal a psychological depth that compares favorably with the best writers of the genre such as Poe and Hawthorne. Before her death in 1888, her book sales had reached the one million mark and she had realized the considerable sum of $200,000 from her fiction. Unlike their daughter, Louisa's parents, Bronson and Abigail May ,were never to know financial ease; rather they always experienced life as a continuing struggle to maintain uncompromising moral and social ideals, while staying one step ahead of poverty.
