Description
"Through no fault of her own, Louisa May Alcott is mainly remembered for a book which she despised as much as she loathed the celebrity it brought her: "Little Women". Sales in the millions may be all very well, but Louisa May was remarkable for other reasons. Now, Martha Saxton has written the first modern biography of the ambivalent rebel and irreverent feminist who became our most popular author, in spite of herself."
