Louisa May's Battle- Louisa May
Alcott is best known for penning Little Women, but few are aware of the
experience that influenced her writing most-her time as a nurse during
the Civil War. Caring for soldiers' wounds and writing letters home for
them inspired a new realism in her work. When her own letters home were
published as Hospital Sketches, she had her first success as a writer.
The acclaim for her new writing style inspired her to use this approach
in Little Women, which was one of the first novels to be set during the
Civil War. It was the book that made her dreams come true, and a story
she could never have written without the time she spent healing others
in service of her country.
