Items related to Eight Cousins
I am 73 years old, and reread this book for the umpteenth time. It is a wonderful book for girls, and it will empower them. This book taught me that I could do anything boys did, an important message back in the late forties, and still today. Alcott has a way of making her readers want to be part of the families she writes about, and this book is no exception. The characters are "real," from the pessimistic old Aunt to the charming oldest male cousin. An ageless tale, purchasing this book for a girl today would not be a mistake. Rose Campbell, tired and ill, has come to live at "The Aunt Hill" after the death of her beloved father. Six aunts fussing and fretting over her are bad enough, but what is a quiet 13-year-old girl to do with seven boisterous boy cousins?

About the Author:
Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semiautobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married: ''... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.'' She was an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.
