Louisa May Alcott by Harriet Reisen
Addresses various aspects of Louisa May Alcott's life - the effect of her father's self-indulgent utopian schemes; her family's economic difficulties and frequent uprootings; her experience as a nurse in the Civil War; and, the loss of her health and frequent recourse to opiates in search of relief from migraines, insomnia, and symptomatic pain.
Reisen, Harriet: - Harriet Reisen has directed, produced, and developed new programs in various facets of media, including television, radio, print, and publicity. Her writing has spanned comedy, drama, nonfiction, documentary, magazine journalism, radio commentary, film criticism, children's books, and songs. Over the past twenty years, what began as an idea for a film biography of Louisa May Alcott developed into a passion for the subject herself. A former fellow in screenwriting at the American Film Institute, Reisen has written dramatic and historical documentary scripts for PBS and HBO, and radio commentary for Morning Edition and Marketplace. She lives in Massachusetts.
