Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semi-autobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married: "... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man." She was an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts. Photo by unknown [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons.

A Quote by Louisa May Alcott

Right, Jo. Better be happy old maids than unhappy wives or unmaidenly girls running about to find husbands.
