Author Discussion: Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was the author of thirteen novels, or fourteen if you count Little Women and Good Wives as two. She also wrote over 200 short stories and novellas for children and adults.

Some of her short stories are historical, including Tabby's Tablecloth, set during the American Revolution, Eli's Education, based on her father's youth, and Little Things, based on her mother's youth.

I always assumed that Louisa May Alcott was a foundational part of any girl reader's life, and felt vindicated when the last film was such a hit (it probably helped that Gerwig's adaptation was so strong.)
