Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), romancière américaine, n'eut pas une enfance facile : très vite, elle et ses soeurs durent travailler à différents métiers afin de subvenir aux besoins de la famille. Même sans fréquenter l'école, elle était fille d'un père philosophe et a été l'apprentie de deux grands penseurs de l'époque : Henry Thoreau et Ralph Waldo. Une fois adulte, elle défend l'émancipation des femmes et l'abolition de l'esclavage. Écrit pour les jeunes filles, son plus grand succès, « Les Quatre Filles du docteur March » (1880), a été adapté au cinéma plusieurs fois, notamment dans la version de 1994 avec Winona Ryder et la version de 2019 avec Saoirse Ronan et Timothée Chalamet.

It was first serialised in the Merry's Museum magazine between July and August in 1869 and consisted of only six chapters. For the finished product, however, Alcott continued the story from the chapter "Six Years Afterwards" and so it ended up with nineteen chapters in all. The book revolves around Polly Milton, the old-fashioned girl who titles the story. Polly visits her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw in the city and is overwhelmed by the fashionable and urban life they live--but also left out because of her "countrified" manners and outdated clothes.

"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents, " grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. 

"It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress. 

"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all, " added little Amy, with an injured sniff. 

"We've got Father and Mother, and each other, " said Beth contentedly from her corner. 

The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never, " but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.
