One title on the list:
Marmee & Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother by Eve LaPlanteRead about another book on the list.
Louisa May Alcott's siblings didn't share her literary gifts, but her supportive mother, Abigail, was an evocative writer, as well as a campaigner for abolition and women's rights. Marmee & Louisa is the title of Eve LaPlante's marvelous new dual biography of the hard-working mother-daughter pair.
