Celebrated author Susan Cheever's comprehensive and definitive biography--now in paperback--sheds new light on the life of Louisa May Alcott, whose work has inspired generations of women. Susan Cheever has been enamored of Louisa May Alcott's books since her mom gave her a copy of Little Women when she was twelve. Every year new young readers fall in love with Alcott's work, from Little Women to her feminist essays. In 1868, Louisa May Alcott sat down to pen a book for girls, Little Women, which became one of the bestselling novels of all time. Largely seen as an autobiographical novel, it recounted the lives, loves, and tribulations of the four March sisters and captivated the reading public. It garnered Alcott instant fame and significant fortune. Based on extensive research and access to Alcott's journals and correspondence, Louisa May Alcott chronicles all aspects of Alcott's life, beginning with the fateful meeting of her parents to her death, two days after that of her father. Cheever examines Alcott's role as a woman, a working writer, and a daughter at a time when Alcott's rejection of marriage in favor of independence--a decision to be no man's "little woman"--defied conventional wisdom.
