Edited by awardwinning biographer Eve LaPlante, a collection of the letters and diaries of Louisa May Alcotts mother, Abigaila forwardthinking feminist whose advice and example profoundly shaped her famous daughterLittle Womens Marmee is one of the most recognizable mothers in American literature. But the real woman behind the fictionLouisa May Alcotts own mother, Abigailhas for more than a century remained shrouded in mystery. Scholars believed that her papers were burned by her daughter and husband, as they claimed, and that little additional information survived.Until now. When Abigails biographer and greatniece Eve LaPlante found a collection of letters and diaries in an attic trunk and began exploring the Alcott family archives, a window opened onto the life of this woman who has for too long been hiding in plain sight. These discoveries, and others, inform LaPlantes groundbreaking new dual biography, Marmee & Louisa, a companion volume to My Heart Is Boundless. No selfeffacing housewife, Abigail was a passionate writer and thinker, a feminist far ahead of her time. She taught her daughters the importance of supporting themselves and dreamed of a day when a woman, like a man, could enjoy both a family and a career.Here at last, in her own words, is this extraordinary womans story, brought to the public for the first time. Full of wit, charm, and astonishing wisdom, Abigails private writings offer a moving, intimate portrait of a mother, a wife, a sister, and a fierce intellect that demands to be heard.
