 Louisa May Alcott, an American author best known for her children’s books Little 
Women, Little Men, and Jo's Boys, was profoundly influenced by her family, 
particularly her father. She was the daughter of Bronson Alcott, a well–known teacher, 
intellectual, and free thinker who advocated abolitionism, women’s rights, and 
vegetarianism long before they were popular. He was called a man of unparalleled 
intellect by his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Bronson Alcott instilled in his daughter 
his lofty and spiritual values and in return was idolized by his daughter. 
 The financial situation of the Alcott family during Louisa’s childhood was not good, 
mainly due to the fact that her father made unsound investments in projects that 
reflected his idealistic view of the world. As a result, Louisa had to begin helping to 
support her family at a young age, by taking a variety of low-paying jobs as a 
seamstress, a maid, and a tutor. 
 Her novel Little Women was patterned after her own family, and Louisa used her father 
as a model for the impractical yet serenely wise and adored father in Little Women. With 
the success of this novel she was able to provide for her family, giving her father the 
financial security that until then he had never experienced.
