Search the Dictionary Notes for Contributors Information Form Contributors Unitarian Universalist Association ... 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. 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. The girls were mostly educated at home. "I never went to school," Louisa wrote, "except to my father or such governesses as from time to time came into the family. . . . so we had lessons each morning in the study. And very happy hours they were to us, for my father taught in the wise way which unfolds what lies in the child's nature as a flower blooms, rather than crammed it, like a Strasburg goose, with more than it could digest. I never liked arithmetic nor grammar . . . but reading, writing, composition, history, and geography I enjoyed, as well as the stories read to us with a skill peculiarly his own."

She came from a family that was stricken with poverty, and made a promise to herself that she would do whatever it took to make a living that would support those she loved. She performed many jobs before finding a profitable profession as a writer. Most of the jobs that she performed served as the basis for her short stories and novels. She worked as a "teacher, seamstress, a household servant, and a nurse" (Schafer 3). Her first major success as a writer was a novel entitled Hospital Sketches, which was based on her experiences as a Civil War nurse at Union Hospital in Washington, DC. Louisa May Alcott, 1832-1888

Louisa May Alcott A.D. 1832-1888 Author of Little Women and Little Men Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29,1832. During her childhood the family moved to Concord, Massachusetts. Her father was the noted A. Bronson Alcott, the “Sage of Concord”, and intimate friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson. While he had a great mind, he was an idealist and didn’t regularly provide for his families necessities. Her mother, Abigail May was of old-line Boston stock, and was of prominent lineage. She was a woman of incredible stamina, wisdom, and love. She was a patient woman, as was much needed being married to an abstracted idealist . It was Abigail Alcott who kept the family together, encouraging the failing husband in his moments of depression, and making ends meet by accepting menial work. She became an inspiration and role model to the young Louisa. While much of her youth was lived in poverty, Louisa’s early surroundings were of a highly intellectual and literary character, and she naturally took to writing while she was very young. Due to the family’s low income and the burdens of her mother, Louisa felt compelled to become a wage earner to help support the family, so she taught school, served as a governess, worked as a domestic servant, traveling companion, and took in work as a seamstress. She was later to use these experiences in her novels.

The Stories of Louisa May Alcott July 1995 W ith a hit movie last year based on her novel Little Women and a new book out this fall, Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) is fast becoming one of today's more commercially successful writers. Until recently, her literary reputation had been more or less synonymous with the guileless charm of the perennial favorite, Little Women a chronicle of four sisters' girlhood and coming of age. But today a very different facet of Alcott's literary oeuvre is gaining attention and emphasis. That she wrote a number of sensationalistic gothic romance novels under a pen name is a fact that has been known for nearly fifty years, but one that has been largely downplayed as merely the consequence of a need to produce commercially appealing work in order to support her financially hapless father. In the wake of resurgent interest in the author spawned by the recent success of "Little Women," however, the unearthing and publication of an Alcott novel bearing the provocative title A Long Fatal Love Chase has caused something of a stir. Popular perceptions of Alcott as simply a sympathetic storyteller for young girls are giving way to more sophisticated characterizations of her as a writer who also addressedoften melodramatically and suggestivelymore adult concerns.

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Louisa May Alcott Louisa May Alcott was born on 29 November, 1832 on her father's 33rd birthday. She was the second of four daughters to Amos and his wife Abba May and was brought up in Concord, Massachusetts. Educated at home Louisa was fascinated by books and from an early age recalls 'playing with books in my father's study - looking at pictures, pretending to read, and scribbling on blank pages whenever pen or pencil could be found'. Alcott never married, and many of her essays explore the possibilities of a single life for women. In 1862 she volunteered as a nurse in a Civil War army hospital in Washington but after only six weeks she contracted typhoid fever and was forced to return home. The break from her family and her experiences gave her the material for her first successful book, Hospital Sketches. The success of Little Women in 1868 brought both fame and the financial security she had so long desired for her family and she went on to write other stories in the same vein; An Old-Fashioned Girl (1870); Little Men (1871); Eight Cousins (1875); Rose in Bloom (1876); Jo's Boys (1886) and others. In 1871 Alcott visited Europe and on her return to Boston became involved with women's suffrage and temperance movements. Alcott died in Boston in 1888, the same day her father was buried."

Her father, Bronson, let his wife and daughters suffer while he philosophized. He did not believe in working for wages but he was perfectly willing to have his wife and daughters do it for him. It was Louisa's pen that would eventually save them all from starvation, but at great cost to her own health and happiness.

Donate Women in the Civil War Louisa May Alcott Louisa May Alcott, 1832-1888 Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832. She and her three sisters, Anna, Elizabeth and May were educated by their father, philosopher/ teacher, Bronson Alcott and raised on the practical Christianity of their mother, Abigail May. Louisa spent her childhood in Boston and in Concord, Massachusetts, where her days were enlightened by visits to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s library, excursions into nature with Henry David Thoreau and theatricals in the barn at Hillside (now Hawthorne’s "Wayside"). Like her character, Jo March in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy: "No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race," she claimed, " and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences...." For Louisa, writing was an early passion. She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends. Louisa preferred to play the "lurid" parts in these plays, "the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens." At age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed: "I will do something by and by. Don’t care what, teach, sew, act, write, anything to help the family; and I’ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won’t!"

Who was born on the 333rd day of the year, has had books on the bestseller list over 100 years after her death, and has a crater on Venus named after her? A. Louisa May Alcott. Alcott (November 29, 1832 - March 6, 1888) is one of the greatest female writers of the 19th century. You've probably heard of her most famous book, Little Women . Not only did she write this series (the history of Jo March and her family spans three books: Little Women Little Men , and Jo's Boys ) but several other books. Her Hospital Sketches is a moving first-person account of the life of a civil war nurse. Transcendental Wild Oats is a funny, yet sometimes subtly bitter, account of her life in a commune. (Yes, she lived in a commune !) She wrote well over a dozen books, as well as many poems, stories, and essays. 11-27-2001: Bet You're Wondering Where I Went!
