Publisher Notes
First Published in 1950, this biography of Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) remains the standard work on the beloved American writer. Madeleine B. Stern, one of the world's leading Alcott scholars, shows how the breadth of Alcott's work, ranging from Little Women to sensational thrillers and war stories, serves as a reflection of a fascinating and complicated life dotted with poverty and riches alike, hard menial work, physical suffering relieved by opiates, and the acclaim of literary success.
