Meet Louisa May Alcott, the beloved author whose children's books made her one of America's most famous writers.  Leslie Goddard portrays Alcott in a program that draws from Alcott's own diaries, books,
and letters to bring the passionate, humorous, and progressive author to life.

It is 1874, and author Louisa May Alcott has been asked to write a short story for next year’s Elgin Watch Company Almanac. As she works on her story, she reflects back on her life, her blockbuster book Little Women (1868) and the other writings that have made her one of America’s most famous authors.
