Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

First published in 1863, Hospital Sketches is a record of personal experiences of Louisa May Alcott. It is a vivid account of the American civil war, enlightening the women's participation in the conflict and their personal encounter with the brutalities of mankind. It covers the experiences of a woman who volunteered to serve as a nurse during the civil war. Alcott's amazing style of narration breathes life into the hardships of war, from home front mobilization to battlefront work.

Biografía del autor:

Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semiautobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married: ''... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.'' She was an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.
