Louisa May Alcott Wrote That? Reading and Discussion of Louisa Mae Alcott’s lesser known works with Scholar Dr. Christine Jackson of Nova Southeastern University

Louisa May Alcott is best known for her children’s novel Little Women, but she authored many other stories for adult audiences, including 1) Transcendental Wild Oats, a satire on her family’s life in a nineteenth-century Utopian community; 2) Hospital Sketches, an account of Alcott’s time spent as an army nurse during the Civil War; 3) Behind A Mask, or a Woman’s Power, one of the best of Alcott’s recently discovered thrillers; and 4) Work: A Story of Experience, a novel about women’s rights and responsibilities beyond the family. The project scholar will facilitate a discussion exploring these short works, which together help display the range of Alcott’s writing and exemplify her strong and dynamic connections to the culture in which she lived.
