Tentang Penulis
Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American novelist, short story writer, and poet, best known for her classic children’s novel ‘Litte Women’ and its sequels ‘Good Wives’, ‘Little Men’, and ‘Jo’s Boys’. The daughter of transcendentalist and educator Amos Bronson Alcott and abolitionist Abigail May, Louisa was born into an environment steeped in progressive ideas, which influenced her writing greatly. Raised in New England, her family’s financial instability meant she began working at an early age, experiences that she deftly incorporated into her stories. Alcott’s literary style combines realism and romanticism, often highlighting the importance of personal character and domesticity. She was also an early feminist and abolitionist, voicing strong narratives about empowered women and social reform, an element distinctly captured through the March sisters in ‘Little Women’. Although ‘Little Women’ remains her most enduring work, Alcott’s repertoire was extensive, ultimately culminating in ‘The Complete Works of Louisa May Alcott’, which shows her versatility in genres including gothic thrillers and sensationalist novels under pseudonyms. Her nuanced depiction of 19th-century American life, combined with her thought-provoking exploration of themes such as identity, women’s rights, and morality, solidifies her status as a key figure in American literature and a pioneer in the canon of women’s writing.
