Louisa May Alcott was born into a poor family of sisters and a mother and father in Massachusetts. Her family moves to Boston for the father’s new job. Her mother made most of the household money due to the unsuccessful outcome of Louisa’s father’s teaching career. On the contrary, Louisa’s father homeschooled her, which sparked Louisa’s writing career. She started writing short stories and thrillers at a young age to support her family. As she got older, Alcott pursed many other jobs that came her way such as a house maid, governess, and a nurse during the Civil War. All these jobs, however, helped and inspired her later writings and brought in much money due to her talent for writing. She is the author of the world famous novel “Little Women”
