The Write Life

Louisa May Alcott

Hey Readers!

It’s time for A Busy Lady’s “The Write Life” where I explore the homes and lives of prominent writers of the past. This month: Louisa May Alcott.

Louisa May Alcott, most widely known for being the author of Little Women, wrote over 30 novels, short story collections and poems, including Little Men and Jo’s Boys.

Daughter of noted transcendentalist Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail May III, Louisa May grew up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts. My visit took place at the Orchard House, where Louisa May most famously wrote Little Women. The following are my impressions from the visit, and tidbits of information learned from the tour guide.

Please note: I have not verified this research, these are my impressions based on the visit and information the tour guides shared.
