Google has created a Doodle to celebrate the author behind the Little Women series, Louisa May Alcott. This year would’ve been her 184th birthday.
Here’s more from the Google Doodle website: “Alcott volunteered as a nurse during the American Civil War, and her family’s home was a station on the Underground Railroad. She was active in the women’s suffrage movement and became the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts. Through it all, she wrote novels and short stories tirelessly, sometimes working 14 hours a day.”
In the past, Google has crafted Doodles in honor of renowned playwright William Shakespeare, Where the Wild Things Are creator Maurice Sendak, and Anne of Green Gables novelist Lucy Maud Montgomery. Here’s a video from Google headquarters spotlighting the artists behind the doodles. Which authors would you suggest as future Doodle subjects?
