Alcott had the privilege of their company which helped shape up her writing career. During her early life, she worked as a nurse during the Civil War and it was when she wrote her first book. She wrote many books of which Little Women and its sequels are still very popular. She never married and in addition to writing, she spent her time in the feminist and abolitionist movements of the day. She died of a stroke in 1888.
