About the author

Louisa May Alcott was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet best known for writing the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Good Wives (1869), Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised in New England by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May Alcott and Amos Bronson Alcott, she grew up among many well-known intellectuals of the day, including Margaret Fuller, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Alcott's family suffered from financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used pen names such as A.M. Barnard, under which she wrote lurid short stories and sensation novels for adults that focused on passion and revenge.
Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts, and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters, Abigail May Alcott Nieriker, Elizabeth Sewall Alcott, and Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt. The novel was well-received at the time and is still popular today among both children and adults. It has been adapted for stage plays, films, and television many times.
Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She also spent her life active in reform movements such as temperance and women's suffrage. She died from a stroke in Boston on March 6, 1888, just two days after her father's death.

Necesitaba un libro que se sintiera como un abrazo y es justamente eso lo que pasó.

Esta historia que habla sobre una familia amorosa y que aspiran a ser buenos entre ellos, y para otros me dejo muchas reflexiones de que tanto ha cambiado la sociedad en cerca de 160 años. Si bien, como mujeres, siempre hemos estado limitadas a aprender cosas para llevar el hogar, vemos que llevamos un largo tiempo peleando por tener más libertades y oportunidades y es lo que leí en el libro a través de la forma de ser de Jo y Amy.

Amé la sensibilidad y cariño que podemos mostrar a nuestra familia y cuánto podemos esforzarnos por pulirnos, por trabajar en nuestro carácter, por lograr contentamiento en nuestras pruebas... porque aunque las circunstancias no siempre sean gratas, así es la vida y hay belleza en encontrar el gozo en ella.

Me encanto, simplemente es un libro que ayuda tanto personal como mentalmente. Recomiendo mucho este libro si eres mujer o quieres sanar el corazón.
