Louisa May Alcott. Alone, these words mean nothing, but together they give birth to a real, very lively and independent person. Louisa May Alcott is a famous American children's author with a rebellious spirit, with ideas that challenge the society of the time. He lived from November 29, 1832, to March 6, 1888, leaving this world at the age of 56 years. His surroundings certainly influence his works, as he lived during the period of Transcendentalism and Romanticism, not to mention the terrible but necessary Civil War. Transcendentalism and Romanticism brought new ideas, literature, ways of life, and beliefs, and Alcott met two great philosophers of that time, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. He lived with his parents and three sisters in various places throughout Massachusetts. Alcott worked very hard for his family and began writing stories about his childhood. His best-known novel is “Little Women” or “Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy”. Louisa May Alcott is a very lively author who melts the ice in even the coldest hearts with her inspiring and touching stories. Alcott appears to be a great author, but her works come from her own life. Louisa May Alcott was born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, to (Amos) Bronson Alcott and Abigail "Abba" May. Bronson was a “thinker” and a teacher, introducing the revolutionary idea of ​​“pleasant thinking,” into a world full of harsh teachers and repetitive lessons. Abigail May was a strong-willed daughter of a noble Boston family, and although country life was harsh, she willingly took on responsibilities. It was from each of them that Louisa received something important. From her mother she received her “long brown hair, her brown eyes, ... middle of paper ... her most famous children's novel. This and his other writings are full of messages; Louisa herself is a message and an inspiration. She wanted something better and saw girls as equal to boys, hence her participation in the women's suffrage movement. Her works would be recommended primarily for young women up to their twenties, but anyone could read them and be satisfied. Then they would continue the work because, even if the language is difficult like that of other classics, the stories force you to continue reading and stay in the "cocoon" created in the book. As a personal critic, Louisa May Alcott is a very realistic author; she draws one right with her. As a person, she proves that women can be who they want to be, despite popular beliefs. Louisa May Alcott, born over 100 years ago, is still one of the most influential people of all time, especially for aspiring women.
