Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 - March 6, 1888) was an American novelist and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she also grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Alcott's family suffered financial difficulties, and while she worked to help support the family from an early age, she also sought an outlet in writing. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard, under which she wrote novels for young adults. Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Hillside, later called the Wayside, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today, filmed several times. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist and remained unmarried throughout her life. She died in Boston on March 6, 1888. Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, which is now part of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on her father's 33rd birthday. She was the daughter of transcendentalist and educator Amos Bronson Alcott and social worker Abby May and the second of four daughters: Anna Bronson Alcott was the eldest; Elizabeth Sewall Alcott and Abigail May Alcott were the two youngest.

Transcendental Wild Oats: A Chapter from an Unwritten Romance is a prose seething satire of a somewhat Utopian community and her family's involvement with the Transcendentalists of the Fruitlands in the early part of the 1840s. Alcott's tale supplies the reader with a rendering of real people in her life whose names are nothing more than thinly masked pseudonyms. Her father, Amos Bronson Alcott is "Abel Lamb" is the name she used for her father, Amos Bronson Alcott. His partner, Charles Lane is the community co-founder "Timon Lion." Her mother, Abigail May Alcott is "Sister Hope" in the story. Alcott paints a picture her father as prevailed upon by his strong-arming partner, Timon. Both men are hopelessly impractical escapists in the world of fantasy and spend their time in pointless debates while Sister Hope works incessantly to maintain a realistic, but bare-boned existence. A crisis arises at harvest time, when the grain crop is threatened by an approaching storm. In Alcott's words, "About the time the grain was ready to house, some call of the Oversoul wafted all the men away." Sister Hope organizes the only available help, three little girls and a boy, and manages to save the crop. The little community collapses as soon as the weather turns cold, when it becomes clear that their provisions are too meager to last the entire winter. Timon Lion and his son leave to to become Shakers and Abel is crushed by the failure of his enterprise.
