Mit dem Namen Louisa May Alcott wird gewiss zuallererst ihr mehrfach verfilmter Bestseller Little Women (1868) in Verbindung gebracht. Auch die drei Folgebände der Familiensaga waren ein großer Erfolg. Weniger bekannt ist, dass Alcott sich auch in der populären Erwachsenenliteratur versuchte, Lyrik und Essays sowie Kurzprosa verfasste. Neben den Hospital Sketches (1863), die von ihren Erlebnissen als Krankenschwester während der Zeit des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs künden, ist vor allem der autofiktionale, äußerst humorvolle Text Transcendental Wild Oats (Transzendentaler Wildhafer, 1873) zu erwähnen, der auf Alcotts Kindheitserfahrungen als Zehnjähriger zurückgeht, als ihr Vater Bronson zusammen mit dem Engländer Charles Lane eine landwirtschaftliche Kommune nach streng transzendentalistischer Richtlinie der Selbstversorgung ins Leben rief. Die Überheblichkeit der Männer und die Ausbeutung der Frauen werden ebenso thematisiert, wie das klägliche Scheitern der utopischen Vision parodiert wird. Die kurze Erzählung Perilous Play (Gefährliches Spiel, 1869) indes, über ein Picknick junger Erwachsener im Sommer auf einer Insel, wobei sie mit dem Genuss von Haschisch in Berührung kommen, zählt zu den gewagtesten und freizügigsten Geschichten, die Alcott geschrieben hat.

Polly Milton, dziewczyna z angielskiej prowincji, odwiedza w mieście zamożną rodzinę swojej przyjaciółki Fanny Shaw.

Przyjaciele Fanny ignorują ją ze względu na odmienne zachowanie i prosty ubiór, nawet sama Fanny nie może powstrzymać się od uważania jej czasami za dziwaczną. W końcu jednak serdeczność i życzliwość Polly podbijają serca wszystkich członków rodziny, a jej staroświecki sposób bycia daje im lekcję, której nigdy nie zapomną. Sześć lat później, już jako dorosła dziewczyna, Polly wraca do miasta, aby zostać nauczycielką muzyki

Über die Freundschaft von vier Schwestern »Little Women« – das sind die vier Schwestern March, und es ist die Geschichte einer Schriftstellerin, die nach Unabhängigkeit strebte. Louisa May Alcott legte viel von sich selbst in Jo, die zweitälteste der vier Schwestern, und lässt auch sie von einer Karriere als Schriftstellerin träumen. Zwar ist das – wie so vieles andere – für eine Frau in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts nicht leicht, doch Jo, Meg, Beth und Amy gehen ihren Weg – gemeinsam und doch jede für sich. Mit der Geschichte über die vier ungleichen Schwestern schuf Alcott einen Welterfolg. Das emanzipatorische Werk ist ein Klassiker der US-amerikanischen Literatur und inspirierte Schriftstellerinnen wie J. K. Rowling, Simone de Beauvoir, Margaret Atwood und Elena Ferrante. In diesem Band finden sich Teil I und Teil II in vollständiger Neuübersetzung. Mit einer kompakten Biographie der Autorin.

Generations of readers young and old, male and female, have fallen in love with the March sisters of Louisa May Alcott's most popular and enduring novel, Little Women. Here are talented tomboy and author-to-be Jo, tragically frail Beth, beautiful Meg, and romantic, spoiled Amy, united in their devotion to each other and their struggles to survive in New England during the Civil War. It is no secret that Alcott based Little Women on her own early life. While her father, the freethinking reformer and abolitionist Bronson Alcott, hobnobbed with such eminent male authors as Emerson, Thoreau, and Hawthorne, Louisa supported herself and her sisters with "woman's work," including sewing, doing laundry, and acting as a domestic servant. But she soon discovered she could make more money writing. Little Women brought her lasting fame and fortune, and far from being the "girl's book" her publisher requested, it explores such timeless themes as love and death, war and peace, the conflict between personal ambition and family responsibilities, and the clash of cultures between Europe and America. iBoo World's Best Classics iBoo Press releases World's Best Classics, uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.

Meet the women who wrote. They wrote against all odds. Some wrote defiantly; some wrote desperately. Some wrote while trapped within the confines of status and wealth. Some wrote hand-to-mouth in abject poverty. Some wrote trapped in a room of their father’s house, and some went in search of a room of their own. They had lovers and families. They were sometimes lonely. Many wrote anonymously or under a pseudonym for a world not yet ready for their genius and talent. We know many of their names—Austen and Alcott, Brontë and Browning, Wheatley and Woolf—though some may be less familiar. They are here, waiting to introduce themselves. They marched through the world one by one or in small sisterhoods, speaking to each other and to us over distances of place and time. Pushing back against the boundaries meant to keep us in our place, they carved enough space for themselves to write. They made space for us to follow. Here they are gathered together, an army of women who wrote and an arsenal of words to inspire us. They walk with us as we forge our own paths forward. These women wrote to change the world.
