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!"

Confronting a society that offered little opportunity to women seeking employment, Louisa determined "...I will make a battering-ram of my head and make my way through this rough and tumble world." Whether as a teacher, seamstress, governess, or household servant, for many years Louisa did any work she could find.

Louisa’s career as an author began with poetry and short stories that appeared in popular magazines. In 1854, when she was 22, her first book Flower Fables was published. A milestone along her literary path was Hospital Sketches (1863) based on the letters she had written home from her post as a nurse in Washington, DC as a nurse during the Civil War.

When Louisa was 35 years old, her publisher Thomas Niles in Boston asked her to write "a book for girls." Little Women was written at Orchard House from May to July 1868. The novel is based on Louisa and her sisters’ coming of age and is set in Civil War New England. Jo March was the first American juvenile heroine to act from her own individuality; a living, breathing person rather than the idealized stereotype then prevalent in children’s fiction.

In all, Louisa published over 30 books and collections of stories. She died on March 6, 1888, only two days after her father, and is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord.

Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott’s most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War.

It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with �woman’s work,” including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the �girl’s book” her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America.

“所有时代的所有少女成长过程中所要面对的经历的,都可以在这本书中找到:初恋的甜蜜和烦恼,感情与理智的选择,理想和现实的差距,贫穷与富有的矛盾。” 如果我有一个女儿,我一定要为她读这本书——《小妇人》。唉,因为我为小朔读,他是不肯听的。有些日子他翻来覆去捧着...

对作者的安排非常不满意! 我并不认同马奇太太以及其他读者说的乔和劳里在一起会因为太过相像而无法长久。书里面早就描写过不止一次两人争吵但又各退一步和好,作为朋友可以这样,作为伴侣我相信也可以。况且,(这可能算作作者的时代局限性?)所谓从来没有红过脸的夫妻,真的...

资本主义社会道德楷模范例书啊,看完gossip girls再看这本little women的感觉真是。。。道德对于社会中下层人群来说是束缚还是自我保护的盔甲?

归类为童话都不过分...

开始读的书虫4的改写,读了一半很喜欢买了原版读,读完了更喜欢。轻微鸡汤,但读着很舒服,想起Joey当时读这本书被吓的要放进冰箱里。Beth得scarlet fever的几章,真心吓一跳,难怪Rachel看得一惊一乍的。这本书很适合当妈妈的人读一读,也适合女孩儿们看一看,真挺好看的。跟《傲慢与偏见》那一家姑娘们比起来,像个童话故事。

2010.5.14 读完 小女英雄救了小男孩。小男孩对小女英雄爱得死去活来。可惜全世界所有的女人都不会甘心与一个需要自己去保护的男人结婚——哪怕她是一个不许要任何人守护的女英雄。也许只是早几年与晚几年的差别。假以时日,他会长大,也会懂得藏住自己的懦弱,甚至知道如何去做其他人的英雄。然而他的一生总是以一个任性的姿态被定格在小女英雄的心中,无法长大。这一切,究竟是我们的不宽容,还是命运的安排? 幸福,大概迟早都会来的。至于那个人是谁,都是不重要的。 p.s. The writing is old-fashioned - not bad but just too overdone. Therefore, I am glad that the beautifully charming boy appeared early in the book - otherwise I really cannot stand some passages.
