HucksOnline has learned that today is Louisa May Alcott's birthday (born in 1832), thanks to a tweet by Cindy. Wikipedia describes Alcott this way: "She is best known for the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Little Women was set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, and published in 1868. This novel is loosely based on her childhood experiences with her three sisters." And: "Alcott's early education included lessons from the naturalist Henry David Thoreau. She received the majority of her schooling from her father. She received some instruction also from writers and educators such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Fuller, who were all family friends."

Question: Have you read "Little Women"? Thoughts?
