4,270 books11k followersLouisa 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.

Una novela al más puro estilo Louisa May Alcott: tierna, acogedora y moralista.
No es la que más me ha gustado y en ocasiones da lecciones de una forma tremendamente obvia. Pero me ha hecho sonreír cada vez que me he sentado a leer, y eso es algo que sé valorar en los tiempos que corren.
«La fuerza y la belleza deben ir juntas».

1'5/5 ⭐️
Tan horrible como Mujercitas. Detesto las obras moralistas, sobre todo de este calibre tan obvio y directo. Lo único salvable han sido las conversaciones y escenas entre las chicas cuando se paraban a discutir sobre feminismo e igualdad entre sexos.
Sin duda esta autora no es para mí, no voy a volver a leerla.

Jo pues menudo bajonazo pegó el libro a partir de la pagina 150, al principio era una novelita linda antigua, luego es simplemente “la buena mujer cocina la buena mujer blablabla” y, además, específicamente esta edición tiene MUCHAS erratas 👎🏻👎🏻
