520    "Louisa on the Frontlines is the first narrative 
       nonfiction book focusing on the least-known aspect of 
       Louisa May Alcott's career - her time spent as a nurse 
       during the Civil War. 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" --|cProvided by publisher.
