The Not So Little Life of Louisa May Alcott | Episode 86
Portrait of Louisa May Alcott
If you grew up reading and rereading Little Women, chances are you know all about the tomboyish Jo March and the March family. You probably don't know that Little Women is based in some part on author Louisa May Alcott's life, or that her life is almost as interesting, if not more so, than the March sisters. She grew up in a Transcendentalist commune, hid slaves escaping along the Underground Railroad, lived with mercury poisoning after a stint as a nurse, and became a bestselling author in her time. Her story is truly incredible, with twists and turns worthy of any bestselling novel.
INTRO - 13:37: Hannah and Deanna reflect on the past decade and talk about what they are looking forward to in 2020 and the decade to come.
14:30 - 53:30: Hannah shares the life story of our person of the week, Louisa May Alcott and what inspired some of her most famous works, including “Little Women.”
