Americas Leading Ladies
Louisa VI. AlcOff

books gave her fine command of
language. Her mothers insistence
that all children keep journals
taught her self lf-eXpression. Com
binmg these abilities, she soon was
writing 10 or II "pot-boilers' per
month. most of which we're published
in The Boston Evening Gazette"
Il can't do much with my hands. ~
she wrote in hen journal. so I will
use my head as a battering-ram to
make my way through this rough
and-tumble world" OF her fathers
philosophizing she wrote. "A phil
osopher is man up in a balloon,
the ropes which confine him to earth
and trying to haul him down"
For several years Louisa con-
tinued writing short stories. though
until 1857 her highest figure was $40.
In 1859 The Atlantic" goal Of all
ambitious writer's, paid her $50 for
a story and started her prices soar
ing.
Then came the War Between the
States. and Louisa went into the
hospitals near Washington as an
Army nurse. Her war experiences
we're welded into book entitled
Hospital Sketches" which enjoyed
a good sale and brought her further
fame
After the war Louisa became
reoular contributor to The At
lantic." and was appointed editor
of "Merrv's Magazine" Her great
est opportunity came when she was
asked to write book for girls.
Little Women" Acclaimed.
Little Women" the story she
created. was veiled autobiography
The characters were her sisters
and playmates; she herself was 40"
Public response to this richly human
novel was tremendous. and MISS
Alcott modestly referred to it as
The first golden egg OF the ugly
duckling"
From that point on her life was
that of a hard-working and sue
cessful literary figure. She pro-
vided ease and comfort for her
mother, and established a school
Of philosophy at Concord, where
her father preached metaphysics.
In 1883 Mr.. Alcott fell i'll and
died on March 4. Louisa had visited
him, and fatigue from incessant
overwork. coupled with sorrow,
caused her death two days later.
The Rev c. A. Bartol. lifelong
friend of the Alcott family, said
as he stood beside her open grave,
The two were so won't to be to-
gether, God saw they could not
well live apart"
