ALCOTT, LOUISA MAY (1832-1888). Louisa May Alcott, U.S. author, was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and raised in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts. Her father Bronson Alcott, a leading Transcendentalist and friend of Ralph Waldo Emerson, founded the Fruitlands utopian community (1843- 1844). However, because of his inability to provide adequately for his wife and four daughters, Louisa's writing played a vital role in the family's economic sustenance.
