Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist, short story writer and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women.
Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Alcott treats growth as work. Her pages balance ambition, care, and resourcefulness without punishing joy. Family is a workshop where art and ethics are practiced. In uncertain economies she shows how attention and craft build independence. Read her to value gentleness with strength and to see kindness as skill.
