The Life of Louisa May Alcott as told through her family
This 50-minute Zoom presentation covers the life of Louisa May Alcott, author of "Little Women." As there would be no Jo March as we know her without Marmee, Mr. March, Meg, Beth, and Amy, there would be no Louisa May Alcott without Bronson, Abigail, Anna, Elizabeth, and May. This talk was presented in Dec. 2021 at the Peter White Public Library in Marquette, Michigan and in March, 2022 at the Kutztown Community Library, Kutztown, PA.

Davvero non esistono foto? Allora quella foto sul web (quella della vendita all'asta) non è davvero lei! Che peccato, somigliava proprio alla descrizione che fa Louisa : i grandi occhi e il sorriso dolce ( e un po' enigmatico). Scusa, non so l'Inglese.
Hi fans ,have been to Orchard House & its a beautiful location & they give great tours there ,Little Women was one of the first books i read as a kid ,just re read it this year and its just as wonderful as it was then ,hope to read more of her books & stories in the future ,& to see Orchard House this fall ,thanks for sharing ,
modjo!! |/:).
I have been searching and searching but I can’t seem to find what I’m looking for Possibly you can help me ? I have been looking for an unpublished book of hers from 1850 Christmas Elves I know the book was unpublished but there must be some kind of copy I can read . Would you know where I could find this ?
Thank you so much for making this
Very well done. Louisa May Alcott, her work, and life have been a key influence since I was 12.
Thank you!
I am enjoying this video as I read the book Marmee and Louisa and am interested in your book as well. What an interesting family the Alcotts were. Their story brings to mind the remi that necessity often is the mother of invention. Would Louisa had worked as diligently without experiencing the trials and lack they did?
Thank you!
The father was a narcissist thinking of only his philosophy not financially supporting his family. No wonder Luisa took up writing in order to help support the family.
Thank You
Hello Cindy 😊 How are you doing?
Thank you so much for providing this. It was very informative and I really enjoyed it! PS- Her father seems like he had some type of mental illness, or didn't care about taking good care of his wife and kids. Who knows.
After visiting Orchard House yesterday, and experiencing this museum I was astounded by the beautiful, unique, exquisite artwork of May Alcott. What bothered me, is the lack of recognition for May’s talents. Most of the tour is all about older sister Louisa and her writing of Little Women a wonderful book which she still is being highly recognized for writing today. But Mays’ artwork is under appreciated and needs to be recognized and she deserves in equal volumes as her sister the recognition of a talented wonderful artist that she became. I am not sure why I am bothered and disappointed that this museum has not brought forth an art book or prints of May Alcott work and achievements in the art world and in her own life. She’s also a big part of the Alcott legacy and should be honored and praised for her talent as an impeccable artist that she had become in her life.
I agree about May and I like the idea of tours geared towards the other sisters as well as Louisa, especially May who had her own significant achievements. I think the reason why there has never been a book of May's prints is because of May's descendants in Europe., getting the permissions, photographing original paintings, etc. I recommend writing to Orchard House with your idea of tours geared towards May - their website is louisamayalcott.org and the email should be found on the home page.

Ja też.
It’s astounding that you so skillfully avoided the Alcott’s staunch abolitionism. They helped the Underground Railroad and Bronson’s admittance of a Black child contributed to his school’s closure. If Louisa is your passion, why would you completely ignore such an important part of her beliefs?
I originally prepared this speech for a library presentation and I took a particular point of view because I was limited in terms of time. You're right though, I should do something about her passions such as abolition and women's rights as they are such intricate parts of her story. I will work on that.
There was plenty of material that could have been exchanged for their noble pursuits. Their abolitionism simply was not a priority to you.
~28:30 Abigail gave up work to take boarders . . .uh, NO!
Clarify ...
Thank you. You are a wonderful speaker. Very informative.
Thank you!
Thanks so much to this wonderful reader, clearly an act of love and homage to the author...bravo..can we expect more of these thoroughly researched and hugely informative bio's on important authors?
Thank you! I focus on the Alcotts but I do have a 15-minute presentation on Lizzie, the sister who inspired Beth March that I will be posting very soon.
Thanks enjoyed the presentation
Thank you!
This was excellent. Well researched and compiled. Thank you. As a result of this information, I am going to re-read Little Women 📔
Wonderful!
@@susanbailey7149 I just wanted to share that I’ve started re-reading ‘Little Women’. It’s interesting how I am more captivated by the storyline knowing how strongly linked the narrative is to the author’s life. As a result, I’m actually enjoying it better this second time around. Thank you📔
I always thought the family, was well off.They started a commune??
The family was well off only after the publication of Little Women - before that they had suffered from chronic poverty mostly because of Bronson's inability and/or unwillingness to work for a wage. And yes, Fruitlands albeit short-lived, was designed as a utopian society (aka commune), a popular notion in New England in the 1840s. Brook Farm was the most successful of these communities.
Awesome nice work, thoroughly enjoyed it and your pace!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Why did Emerson help the Alcotts so much?
Emerson considered Bronson to be one of his closest friends. They were like brothers with their ups and downs.
@@Sylvie3273 yes! Yet all the women worked. Like an asexual pimp.
Very interesting, informative and impressive lecture; clearly a labor of love!
Thank you!
Thank you for this!!!
Thanks for listening!
That would be cool.
She looks almost alive again in that. It's a shame that a proper photo of hers doesn't exist or the channel Mystery Scoop would probably love an animated photo of hers. Maybe one day someone with far more artistic ability than I possess will be able to make a proper painting or 3D model of Lizzie based on that sketch.
This is very beautiful. Thanks for it. I look forward to your biography of the oft-overlooked Lizzie Alcott.
Thank you! Working hard on it.
Lorraine, you make me smile. You give me hope to read again! I may go to see the film today or wait and buy it. BMW
