Louisa May Alcott grandit à Boston dans des cercles intellectuels et se découvre très jeune une passion pour l'écriture qu'elle mettra vite à contribution pour soutenir financièrement sa famille. Ardente abolitionniste, elle sert comme infirmière lors de la guerre de Sécession. Victime de la typhoïde, elle gardera une santé fragile jusqu'à la fin de sa vie. En 1868, elle publie Les Quatre Soeurs March, le roman en partie autobiographique qui lui vaudra un énorme succès, mettant un terme au cycle infernal de la pauvreté et des dettes. Rongée par la maladie, elle meurt le 6 mars 1888, deux jours après son père.
