Invincible Louisa

Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, the four famous March sisters in Little Women, were more than just storybook characters. The author, Louisa May Alcott, based that book on her own loving family —her parents and her sisters, Anna, Elizabeth, and May.

Jo was the real-life Louisa—the invincible (unconquerable) tomboy whose stories brought her fame and the money her family so desperately needed.

In this true story of Louisa May Alcott, you'll find out what really happened to Jo (Louisa) and her sisters—and whether there really was a Laurie.
