Summary:
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.
