Though her service was brief, the dramatic experience was one that she considered pivotal in helping her write the beloved classic Little Women. It also deeply affected her tenuous relationship with her father, and inspired her commitment to abolitionism. Through it all, she kept a journal and wrote letters to her family and friends. These letters were published in the newspaper, and her subsequent book, Hospital Sketches, spotlighted the dire conditions of the military hospitals and the suffering endured by the wounded soldiers she cared for. To this day, her work is considered a pioneering account of military nursing. Alcott's time as an Army nurse in the Civil War helped her find her authentic voice--and cemented her foundational belief system. Louisa on the Frontlines reveals the emergence of this prominent feminist and abolitionist--a woman whose life and work has inspired millions and continues to do so today" -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Alcott, Louisa May, $d 1832-1888. 600 10 $a Alcott, Louisa May, $d 1832-1888 $x Career in nursing. 650 0 $a Women authors, American $y 19th century $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Hospitals. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Hospitals. 651 0 $a United States $x Women. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Women. 650 0 $a Military nursing $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 15 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710043805.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014820.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021554.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201014302.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20220709010234.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20191018011039.0 952 $l ZUPD675 $d 20191010010949.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190726010242.0 952 $l YLPC314 $d 20190621011041.0 952 $l KCPA896 $d 20190508012113.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502025813.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20190328010531.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20190314013052.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190306011049.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190227010932.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B4D5FA43A5D11E99DA6365497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
