Join presenter Jill Fuller as she discusses an often overlooked, but pivotal time, in the life of author Louisa May Alcott.
Before she became famous as the author of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott left Concord, Massachusetts to serve as a nurse in the Civil War. In this presentation, we will explore the Alcott family's role in the abolition movement, Louisa's time as a Civil War nurse, and how this pivotal experience ultimately led to her most celebrated novel.
Jill Fuller is a librarian, writer, and historian. She is a member of the Louisa May Alcott Society and is currently developing a podcast mini-series about Louisa, to be released next year. You can find her at www.jillfuller.com or on Instagram @jill.full.
This event is free, but registration is required. Donations are appreciated, and will go to support the operations of the Milton House Museum.
