Louisa May Alcott
The Life of a Beloved Author and Storyteller
Author:
Susan Cheever
Narrator:
Tavia Gilbert
Every year, new young readers continue to fall in love with Alcott's work, from Little Women to her feminist papers. Based on extensive research and access to Alcott's journals and correspondence, Cheever chronicles all aspects of Alcott's life, beginning with the fateful meeting of her parents to her death, just two days after that of her dynamic and domineering father, Bronson. 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"---was seen as defying conventional wisdom.
