Employing a blend of sentimental realism and social commentary, Alcott's literary style is characterized by its conversational tone and deep psychological insights, which resonate with the struggles of domesticity, gender roles, and personal ambitions. This novel not only serves as a coming-of-age tale but also captures the essence of familial bonds, societal expectations, and the pursuit of happiness within a patriarchal society, making it a cornerstone of American literature that continues to inspire and challenge readers today. Louisa May Alcott, an advocate for women's rights and a figure deeply rooted in the transcendentalist movement, drew from her own experiences growing up in a financially unstable family. Her diverse background'Äîranging from writing pulp fiction to working as a Civil War nurse'Äîshaped her understanding of the struggles faced by women of her time, ultimately influencing her creation of the March sisters, who embody resilience and individuality amidst societal pressures. This enchanting novel is highly recommended for readers of all ages, as it offers profound insights into the complexities of womanhood and the importance of sisterhood. With its rich character development and relatable themes, "Little Women" remains a beloved work that invites readers to reflect on their own lives and the evolving nature of family and personal dreams.

D K Broster

Dorothy Kathleen Broster was born on 2nd September 1877 at Devon Lodge in Grassendale Park, Garston, Liverpool.

At 16, the family moved to Cheltenham, where she attended Cheltenham Ladies' College and then on to St Hilda’s College, Oxford to read history, where she was one of the first female students, although at this time women were not awarded degrees.

Broster served as secretary to Charles Harding Firth, a Professor of History for several years, and collaborated on several of his works. Her first two novels were co-written with a college friend, Gertrude Winifred Taylor.

With the Great War interrupting her literary ambitions she served as a Red Cross nurse at a Franco-American hospital, but returned to England with a knee infection in 1916.

After the war, she moved near to Battle in East Sussex and took up writing full-time.

In 1920 she at last received her Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from Oxford.

Her novels, mainly historical fiction, peaked in popularity with ‘The Flight of the Heron’, in 1925, a best-seller followed up by two sequels.

As well as poetry and various articles she also wrote several short stories, the best known of which is a classic of weird fiction ‘The Couching at the Door’ in which an artist appears to be haunted by a mysterious entity.

An intensely private individual many readers deduced from her name that she was both a man and Scottish.

D K Broster died in Bexhill Hospital on 7th February 1950. She was 73.
