To support public humanities programs in libraries that explore Louisa May Alcott's untraditional life, her varied body of published work, and her place in American culture.

This project will support public humanities programs in a library that will explore Louisa May Alcott's untraditional life, her varied body of published work, and her place in American culture. The library will present five programs that represent the broad scope of Louisa May Alcott's writing, encourage scholar-led discussion about the project's major humanities themes, and promote in-depth discussion of the documentary and biography, Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women.
