Louisa May Alcott grew up in poverty and was educated by several well-known friends of her father such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was a dedicated defender of women's rights and towards the end of her life she was also abolitionist. Her best-known work, Little Women, is based on an idealized version of her own family life, and Jo March's character is somewhat autobiographical although, unlike her character, Louisa May Alcott herself never married or had children.
