作者简介

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) remains one of the most beloved American authors, noted for her rich narratives that combine domestic realism with astute observations on social issues. Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, Alcott grew up in a household steeped in progressive thought, with her father, Amos Bronson Alcott, being a prominent educator and transcendentalist. Alcott's seminal work, 'Little Women' (1868-1869), presented as a complete collection of four books, is a reflective autobiographical account that explores the lives of the four March sisters, detailing their passage from childhood to womanhood. Not only did it secure her literary fame, but it also allowed Alcott to financially support her family. The novel's blend of realism and moral didacticism, its insightful characterizations, and accessible prose style resonate with readers generation after generation, ensuring its canonical status. 'Little Women' and its sequels have become cultural touchstones, adapting into numerous stage and film versions, underscoring Alcott's enduring legacy as a writer who earnestly addressed gender roles, individualism, and poverty, and an advocate for women's rights. Her robust body of work, inclusive of 'Good Wives' (1869), 'Little Men' (1871), and 'Jo's Boys' (1886), along with her transcendentalist and reformist lineage, exemplifies Alcott's contribution to American literature, paving the way for future female authors.
