Books, Manuscripts
Louisa May Alcott is best known for penning 'Little Women', but few are aware of the experience that influenced her writing most - her time as a nurse during the Civil War. Caring for soldiers' wounds and writing letters home for them inspired a new realism in her work, and it was when her own letters home were published that she had her first success as a writer.
