Proverb Stories
No full textLouisa M. Alcott's "Proverb Stories" is a collection of short tales, each written to illustrate a specific proverb or moral lesson. Penned in Alcott's characteristic didactic yet earnest style, these stories aim to instill virtues such as honesty, patience, diligence, and kindness in young readers. As indicated in the preface, the collection gathers "waifs and strays" written by the author at different times. The narratives typically feature young protagonists facing moral dilemmas, guiding them toward the "correct" ethical choice. The work reflects 19th-century American morals and pious values, exemplified in stories like "The Spirits of the Bells," which concludes with themes of "Peace on earth, good will to men".Louisa M. Alcott'un "Atasözü Hikayeleri" adlı eseri, her biri belirli bir atasözünü veya ahlaki dersi ("proverb") örneklemek amacıyla yazılmış kısa öykülerden oluşan bir derlemedir. Alcott'un karakteristik didaktik ancak samimi üslubuyla kaleme alınan bu hikayeler, genç okuyuculara dürüstlük, sabır, çalışkanlık ve nezaket gibi erdemleri aşılamayı hedefler. Önsözde belirtildiği gibi, bu koleksiyon, yazarın farklı zamanlarda yazdığı "başıboş" ("waifs and strays") metinleri bir araya getirir. Hikayeler genellikle ahlaki ikilemlerle karşılaşan genç kahramanları konu alır ve anlatı, onları "doğru" etik seçime yönlendirir. Eser, "Yeryüzünde barış, insanlara iyi niyet" ("Peace on earth, good will to men") gibi temaları içeren "Çanların Ruhu" ("The Spirits of the Bells") gibi öykülerle, 19. yüzyıl Amerikan ahlak anlayışını ve dindar değerlerini yansıtır

Family of Louisa Oyee: a matriarch in the Nisga'a Nation
No full textThe purpose of this research project is to record the genealogy of Louisa Oyee. Louisa was the matriarch in the House of Baxh'ap in the community of Gitwinksihlkw. She was a member of the Nisga'a Nation. Louisa was one of the most important historical figures in this small community. Along with the genealogy, I collected data, photos and stories that tie this family together. As the Nisga'a follow a matrilineal descent, one will see how the House is structured. The genealogies will also show the blood connections to the other Houses that belong to the four communities of the Nisga'a. The final report will be housed with the writer, Simo'ogit Baxh'ap (current holder and future holders of the name), Wilp Wilxo'oskwhl Nisga'a, the Nisga'a Lisims Government, and the Gitwinksihlkw Village Government. Descendents of Louisa Oyee will have permission to view the final project. Access to it from the general public will be limited and only upon request from the writer or Simo'ogit Baxh'ap. --P.ii.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b173649
LOUISA CATHERINE JOHNSON ADAMS: THE PRICE OF AMBITION
No full textThis biography rescues from obscurity one of the least known members of the Adams family, Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams (1775-1852). Married in 1797 to John Quincy Adams, her three long memoirs, letters, and other writings are virtually unknown. Yet from her life we can learn much: about the lives of women whose personalities were at variance with dictates of the culture; about the dynamics of the Adams family; about the distaff side of the United States diplomatic corps; and about the strains placed upon politicians' families.This work examines the first half of Louisa's life from 1775 to 1817. Raised in London in an Anglo-American mercantile family, she served with her husband at three courts: Prussia, Russia, and Great Britain. Four of her eight years in America from 1801 to 1809, she was the wife of a United States Senator. By 1817 she was probably the most travelled and sophisticated woman in America, and John Quincy's appointment as Secretary of State put within reach his, and her, ultimate goal--the Presidency.Louisa's psychological life was bounded by ambition, denial, and guilt. She denied a strong ambition because her times prohibited assertive women. Wracked by guilt because she thought the world assumed she and her parents had lured John Quincy into marriage with an impoverished girl, she denied what was essentially her own accusation. She disclaimed her delight in social events in conformity to her husband's stern republicanism. Angry because his career forced her to choose between her husband and children, she felt guilty at either choice. Louisa could never pay with grace the exactions her goal demanded.Forced by the culture to deflect her strivings on to her husband, Louisa could not face herself honestly. So insecure was Louisa that she wrote one memoir to let the world know that she existed. Since many women of her era also failed to find outlets for strong, yet prohibited, feelings, historians may find important clues to women's tensions in nineteenth-century America. Unheeded in her own lifetime, overlooked by modern historians, Louisa is here given the attention she deserves.Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-05, Section: A, page: 1651.Ph.D. American University 1982.Englis
An evening with Louisa: honouring the life and achievements of Louisa Anne Meredith

In 2023, in recognition of her outstanding achievements, the Society established the Louisa Anne Meredith Medal to be awarded to similarly worthy recipients.

Between Measure and Excess: The Roman Republic in Louisa May Alcott’s Moods
No full textLouisa May Alcott’s Moods and the sensation tales the author published in the 1860s exceeded narrative, racial, and gender boundaries. References to the Roman Republic came to epitomize the sentimental excess that was beginning to be censored by the literary establishment.
