Marmee & Louisa : the untold story of Louisa May Alcott and her mother / Eve LaPlante.
The author argues that Louisa's "Marmee," Abigail May Alcott, was in fact the intellectual and emotional center of her daughter's world--exploding the myth that her outspoken idealist father was the source of her progressive thinking and remarkable independence.
