The Woman Behind Little Women
Harriet Reisen

Her parents were fearlessly bohemian and were close friends of Henry David Thoreau. She has been described as exuberant, headstrong, and intelligent. Her own story is as fascinating as the characters in her novels. Read about the life of the classic American writer, Louisa May Alcott.
