The Woman Behind Little Women by Harriet Reisen
"In a fresh, modern take on the remarkable Louisa May Alcott, Harriet Reisen’s vivid biography explores the author’s life in the context of her works, many of which are to some extent autobiographical. Although Alcott secretly wrote pulp fiction, harbored radical abolitionist views, and served as a Civil War nurse, her novels went on to sell more copies than those of Herman Melville and Henry James. Stories and details culled from Alcott’s journals, together with revealing letters to family, friends, and publishers, plus recollections of her famous contemporaries provide the basis for this lively account of the author’s classic rags-to-riches tale. In Louisa May Alcott, the extraordinary woman behind the beloved American classic Little Women is revealed as never before".
Open to US and it is a beautiful paperback copy!

I do love Little Women, but not as much as my mom. She really loves the book, and Louisa May Alcott. I would love to be able to give her this book before it is released!

This should be such an interesting and wonderful book. I saw part of the American Masters program on her. It gave a very different picture of her than I had. Authors are often so very different than what we think.
