Alcott in Her Own Time

This delightful and incredibly useful collection brings together a kaleidoscope of firsthand accounts of Alcott: the breezy author slinging slang, the defiant and funny activist, and much more. Filled with difficult-to-find primary sources, Shealy's volume will be as gratifying to readers as it is necessary to students and scholars."–Gregory Eiselein, coeditor of The Louisa May Alcott Encyclopedia and the Norton Critical Edition of Little Women
