She cared for sick and wounded soldiers. She wrote letters to her family about her experiences. She included these letters in a book that was published the next year. Critics praised it but it did not bring her much money. And, working in the hospital damaged her health.
In 1865 she visited Europe as a helper to an older woman. Alcott hoped to re-gain her health. She spent a long time away from her family. Her health did not improve. But she thought about her writing. When she returned, she agreed to her publisher's request that she write a book for girls based on the life she knew.在1862年，美国内战期间，路易莎·梅·奥尔科特去了华盛顿DC。她在军警医院里当护士，照料生病和受伤的士兵。她写信给家人叙述她的经历。第二年，她把这些信一并放到书里一起发行。批判家赞赏这些信件但没给路易莎带来多少钱。并且，在医院工作对她的身体照成了损害。
1865年，她作为一名老妇人的助手去到了欧洲。奥尔科特希望能重获健康。她用了很长一段时间远离她的家人但是她的身体却没有得到改善。她开始思考她的写作。在她回来的时候，她同意发行商的要求写一本基于她所了解的生活的女孩子的书。
