Germantown, Pensilvania, 1832-Boston, Massachusetts, 1888. Recibió de su padre buena parte de su educación y estuvo en contacto con algunas personalidades destacadas, como Emerson, Thoreau o Theodore Parker. Desempeñó diversos trabajos para sobrellevar las dificultades económicas de su familia formada por cuatro hermanas y los padres de ella, y decidió trabajar como enfermera voluntaria durante la Guerra de Secesión, experiencia que recogió en el libro Hospital Sketches (1863). No obstante, pronto tuvo que abandonar esa ocupación porque contrajo el tifus. A partir de entonces pudo dedicarse por completo a la escritura. Entre los libros que publicó se cuentan algunos relatos que aparecieron bajo pseudónimo. Fue gracias a la publicación de Mujercitas (1868-1869) que se convirtió en una escritora verdaderamente popular. El éxito fue rotundo e inmediato, y a esta le siguieron otras novelas como Una muchacha anticuada (1870), Hombrecitos (1871), Trabajo. Un relato de vivencias (1873), Eight cousins (1875) o Rose in Bloom (1876).
