This study is the result of the analysis of the figure of the writer Louisa May Alcott and her novel Little Women through the historical and social context of the 19th century in her country, the United States. The research into the life of this great writer attempts to investigate why, despite the fact that Alcott was a solid feminist, her work is not considered as such today. Alcott is a clear example of the limited freedom women had at the time and the difficulties they faced because they had the ambition to be independent. First of all, the life of Louisa May Alcott is presented, as well as the education provided by her parents, and the writer’s family situation. Later, the work Little Women and its relationship with the Alcott family is analysed, also exploring the family letters and those of the author herself. Besides, a review is made of the situation of the feminist movement in the United States in the 19th century and what ideology prevailed in the life of Louisa May Alcott. This study also analyses the 2019 film adaptation of Little Women directed by Greta Gerwig, which, counting on the fact that it is a clear interpretation of Alcott’s life, analyses the feminist point of view of the 21st century that the director succeeded in reflecting without leaving Louisa May Alcott’s work aside. Finally, an analysis is made of the situation of 19th century journalism in the United States in order to demonstrate, through opinion articles, that Alcott also fulfilled the role of journalist throughout her life and that her legacy as a communicator of social causes should not be ignored.
