Louisa May Alcott and her classic literature have affected generations to come and overcame barriers socially during that time period.

The struggles and experiences of being a woman in the early 1800s is revealed to all who care to absorb Little Women. She was also known to have spread awareness for the soldiers and their well-being during her time as a nurse after publishing her slightly successful book, Hospital Sketches.
And she didn't stop there. Alcott and her mother were known to have participated in the women's suffragette movement, and they progressively fought for female political, social, and economical equality. For a short while, her family also housed a fugitive slave, demonstrating her abolitionist views and fighting for humanity's justice. There was no shortage of advocation in Alcott's life as she demonstrated what could happen if one truly contends hard enough for what they want.

Louisa has indefinitely affected each and every person who has picked up her literature and cared for it. A special understanding passes between an author and a reader when a story has been mutually understood and valued. There is no doubt that Louisa May Alcott will forever be one of the most incredible novelists/wordsmiths to have ever graced our world.
