Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott

Louisa May Alcott
I will make a battering-ram of my head and make my way through this rough and tumble world.
Louisa May Alcott
I like to help women help themselves, as that is, in my opinion, the best way to settle the woman question. Whatever we can do and do well we have a right to, and I don't think any one will deny us.
Louisa May Alcott
where I wholly love I wholly trust.
Louisa May Alcott
... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.

A quick temper, sharp tongue, and restless spirit were always getting her into scrapes, and her life was a series of ups and downs, which were both comic and pathetic.
Louisa May Alcott
