Product Description
About the Author
Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) was an American novelist. She is best known for the novel Little Women, set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts, and published in 1868. Part two, or Part Second, also known as Good Wives, (1869) followed the March sisters into adulthood and their respective marriages. Little Men (1871) detailed Jo's life at the Plumfield School that she founded with her husband Professor Bhaer at the conclusion of Part Two of Little Women. Jo's Boys (1886) completed the "March Family Saga." In her later life, Alcott became an advocate for women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts, in a school board election. Alcott, along with Elizabeth Stoddard, Rebecca Harding Davis, Anne Moncure Crane, and others, were part of a group of female authors during the Gilded Age who addressed women’s issues in a modern and candid manner. Their works were, as one newspaper columnist of the period commented, "among the decided 'signs of the times.'

Life Choices for a Young Woman...
26 July 2011
By D. S. Thurlow
- Published on Amazon.com
What's a young woman to do, when she is educated, beautiful, wealthy and courted by nearly every eligible male in the neighborhood, but wants more out of life? Such is the challenge for Rose Campbell, just back from a tour of Europe with her guardian and ready for the next step in her life. At "Aunt Hill", her many Campbell aunts, uncles, and cousins think she should marry. Rose herself is more interested in exploring a career of good works and philanthropy.
"Rose in Bloom", Lousia May Alcott's superb sequel to "Eight Cousins", presents Rose with a series of choices involving four male Campbell cousins her own age. One will touch her heart but try her patience. A second will pursue his own particular elliptical path to wooing Rose. A third becomes involved with Phebe, her maid turned companion, precipitating a family crisis. If perceptive readers can foresee Rose's ultimate choice, the real enterntainment is in Alcott's well-written journey, by turns humorous and dramatic.
"Rose in Bloom" is highly recommnded to fans of Louisa May Alcott and her other works, such as "Little Women" and "Little Men."
