Louisa May Alcott is best known as the author of Little Women. But she was also a noted essayist who wrote on a wide range of subjects, including her father’s failed utopian commune, life as a Civil War nurse and her experience as a young woman sent to work in service to alleviate her family’s poverty.

Blending gentle satire with reportage and emotive biography, A Strange Life – edited by Liz Rosenberg and with a preface by Jane Smiley – shows Alcott to be one of the sharpest wits in American literature.

Published by Notting Hill Editions, a small, independent publisher of pocket-sized, linen-bound essay collections and nonfiction. These books are true works of bookbinding art!

About Black & Beech

Values at our core

Black & Beech was created by me, Stacey Grant-Canham, as a part-time side hustle whilst on maternity leave with my first son. Since then, Black & Beech has evolved into a brand with a mission: to fuse a passion for feminism and activism with a commitment to provocative, ethical, and sustainable fashion. Fashion is a powerful form of expression and an effective tool for empowerment.

We have used our brand to promote activism in areas such as abortion rights and support for survivors of domestic violence. We have given over £20,000 in donations to charities that we endorse.
