I really enjoyed reading the biography. I read Little Women several years ago, but didn't know much about the author until now. She seems to have been a truly exceptional woman who cared for her family more than herself. She had several hard times throughout the course of her life, but she managed to deal with them by writing amazing stories that affected how women around the world felt and thought. I liked that this book was part of a set honoring American Women of Achievement and it gave several other women one could research as well as alternate readings to learn more about Alcott's life and acheivements.
In the classroom, I would recommend this book for a unit on researching authors and exploring what each author read or experiences in a lifetime that impacted his/her own writings. I would also use this book as a supplement to the Womens' Movement and women who impacted that era. I think having a unit on women authors of that time might be interesting. We could choose books to read aloud during class by female authors and others for the students to read as an assignment and they could research a particular author to understand how her writings reflected her own life.… (plus d'informations)
