My local library received a grant to present an anticipated series about the life and times of Louisa May Alcott, famed writer of the children's novel, Little Women. The series promises to reveal an author many of us never knew existed (for instance, Alcott wasn't fond of writing children's books, preferring instead to pen pulp fiction and other not-so-innocent tales).
Interestingly, Alcott and her Little Women characters shared some similarities to four little Rochester women of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article was my "A Patch of History" column today on Rochester Patch.
