Alcott, Louisa May (âl’kot). An American author, daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott; born at Germantown, PA, Nov. 29, 1832; died at Boston, March 6, 1888. She wrote at an early age; her ‘Flower Fables’ (1855) and ‘Moods’ (1865, revised ed. 1881) made little impression; but ‘Hospital Sketches’ (1869), ‘Little Women’ (1868), ‘Old-Fashioned Girl’ (1869), ‘Little Men’ (1871), and many others of like character and popularity, made her famous.
