Louisa may Alcott, an American author best known for her children's book little women, little man, and jo's boys, was profoundly influenced by her family, particularly her father. She was the daughter of Bronson aclott, a well known teacher, intellectual, and free thinker who advocated abolitionism, women's right, and vegetarianism long before they were popular. He was called a man of unparalleled intellect by his friend Ralph walso Emerson. Bronson Alcott instilled in his daughter his lofty and spiritual values and in return was idolized by his daughter.
The financial situation of the Alcott family during Louisa's childhood was not good, mainly due to the fact that her father made unsound investment in projects that reflected his idealistic view of the world. As the result, Louisa had to begin helping to support her family at a young age, by taking a variety of low-paying jobs as a seamstress, a maid, and a tutor.
Her novel little women was patterned after her own family and Louisa used her father as a model for the impractical yet serenely wise and adored father in little women. With the success of this novel she was able to provide for her family, giving her father the financial security that until then he has never experienced.
