關於作者

Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) was an American author best known for her novel Little Women. Born in Massachusetts, she grew up in an idealistic environment and began writing at a young age to support her family’s difficult financial situation. Early in her career, she published gothic and adventure stories under a pseudonym but gained widespread success with Little Women. Based on her family and childhood experiences, the novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, growth, and women’s independence. Sequels include Good Wives, Little Men, and Jo’s Boys. Her experience as a nurse during the Civil War inspired another notable work, Hospital Sketches. Alcott’s writing delves deeply into women’s roles and independent identities during her time. She passed away in 1888 due to health issues, but her works continue to resonate with readers worldwide. Little Women, in particular, has been adapted into various media, offering timeless messages of hope and resilience. Alcott is celebrated as a literary pioneer who inspires generations with her life and works.
