Biographie de l'auteur

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A brilliant tale of deceit and treachery. It relates how Jean Muir, a lovely and modest governess, wrecks havoc in the lives of her employers. All the men covet her while the women are livid with jealousy. The surprise ending reveals Muir's ulterior motive behind her daring scheme. Outstanding book in which Alcott voices her feminist beliefs through a strong female protagonist. Compelling!
