She and her three sisters, Anna, Elizabeth, and May, were educated by their father, philosopher and teacher Bronson Alcott, and raised on the practical Christianity of their mother, Abigail May.\r\n\r\nLouisa spent her childhood in Boston and in Concord, Massachusetts, where her days were enlightened by visits to Ralph Waldo Emerson\u2019s library, excursions into nature with Henry David Thoreau, and theatricals in the barn at \"Hillside\".\r\n\r\nLike her character, \"Jo March\" in Little Women, young Louisa was a tomboy.  \"No boy could be my friend till I had beaten him in a race,\" she claimed, \"and no girl if she refused to climb trees, leap fences ...\"\r\n\r\nFor Louisa, writing was an early passion.  She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends.  Louisa preferred to play the \"lurid\" parts in these plays --\"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens.\"\r\n\r\nAt age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed:   \"I will do something by and by.  Don\u2019t care what, teach, sew, act, write -- anything to help the family; and I\u2019ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won\u2019t!\"", "type": {"key": "/type/author"}, "photos": [6377476], "personal_name": "Louisa May Alcott", "latest_revision": 31, "revision": 31, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-01T03:28:50.625462"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-05-30T10:14:37.103987"}}
