It's no secret that Little Women is more than a little bit autobiographical. Through the charm and polish Alcott laid on the story, you can see little hints of the more unpleasant aspects of her youth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2111208659086834464.post-18240515357383089202013-04-11T10:02:42.263-06:002013-04-11T10:02:42.263-06:00Oh!
