Louisa May Alcott started out as a little girl scribbling in her "Imagination Book," part of a spirited, creative family of sisters who loved to explore, play and dream. Even when times were hard, the family held together. So when Louisa dared to write a novel, she wrote about what mattered most to her: family. The four Alcott sisters became the four March sisters of Little Women.
