    Extractions: American writer and reformer best known for her largely autobiographical novel Little Women Encyclopedia Alcott, Louisa May, 1832–88, American author, b. Germantown, Pa.; daughter of Bronson Alcott . Mostly educated by her father, she was a friend of Emerson and Thoreau , and her first book, Flower Fables (1854), was a collection of tales originally created to amuse Emerson's daughter. Alcott was determined to contribute to the small family income and worked as a servant and a seamstress before she made her fortune as a writer. Her letters written to her family when she was a Civil War nurse were published as Hospital Sketches (1863); her first published novel, Moods, followed in 1864. She first achieved wide fame and wealth with Little Women (1868), one of the most popular children's books ever written. The novel, which recounts the adolescent adventures of the four March sisters, is largely autobiographical, the author herself being represented by the spirited Jo March.

    Extractions: 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.

    Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , 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

    Extractions: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) Contributing Editor: Elizabeth Keyser "Actress," the third chapter of Louisa May Alcott's novel Work 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). Edith Wharton , appear only in amateur theatricals or tableaux vivants .

    Extractions: Louisa May Alcott, portrait by George Healy; in the Louisa May Alcott Memorial Association collection, Concord, Mass. By courtesy of Louisa May Alcott Memorial Association (1832-1888), novelist Hospital Sketches (1863), brought her the first taste of fame. Her stories began to appear in The Atlantic Monthly, and because family needs were pressing, she wrote the autobiographical Little Women (1868-69), which was an immediate success. Based on Alcott's recollections of her own childhood, Little Women described the domestic adventures of a New England family of modest means but optimistic outlook. The book traces the differing personalities and fortunes of four sisters as they emerge from childhood and encounter the vicissitudes of employment, society, and marriage. Little Women created a realistic but wholesome picture of family life with which younger readers could easily identify. In 1869 Alcott was able to write in her journal: "Paid up all the debts . . . thank the Lord!" She followed Little Women 's success with further domestic narratives drawn from her early experiences: An Old-Fashioned Girl Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag , 6 vol. (1872-82);
