Marmee & Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother

â€œIn this meticulously researched look at Louisa May Alcott and her mother, Eve LaPlante shatters myths about the supposed passive Marmee, replacing them with a portrait of a woman who fought for a womanâ€™s right to education, professional and maternal satisfaction, and powerâ€ (People).

Marmee & Louisa, hailed by NPR as one of the best books of 2012, paints an exquisitely moving and utterly convincing portrait of Louisa May Alcott and her mother, the real â€œMarmee.â€ Award-winning biographer Eve LaPlante mines the Alcottsâ€™ intimate diaries and other private papers, some recently discovered in a family attic and others thought to have been destroyed, to revive this remarkable daughter and mother. Abigail May Alcottâ€”long dismissed as a quiet, self-effacing background figureâ€”comes to life as a gifted writer and thinker. A politically active feminist firebrand, she fought for universal civil rights, an end to slavery, and womenâ€™s suffrage. This gorgeously written story of two extraordinary women is guaranteed to transform our view and deepen our understanding of one of Americaâ€™s most beloved authors.
