“The Alcotts’ four daughters, Elizabeth, Louisa, Anna, and May were immortalized as Beth, Jo, Amy, and Meg in Louisa’s best-known work, Little Women. Louisa May Alcott was born in Pennsylvania where her father Bronson Alcott ran a school in Germantown. She was educated at home and while forced to do menial work, she determined to write.”—Lola Szladits
