But when Louisa was on stage she wrote: "I would not, but at sight of the audience and the lights gave free vent to my delight and crowed aloud with joy." This sounds much like the beginnings of Louisa's great great granddaughter's acting career.
Louisa wrote: "He was very kind and sweet to me, kissed me, and said I was 'a very pretty little girl.' Need I say that I was a Jackson Democrat from that hour, and have remained one..." Louisa may not of heard of Jackson's reputation as a duelist.
Louisa often acted in male roles (highly unusual in that day and age) such as Romeo, Mark Antony and other Shakespearean roles; a family tradition which was carried on by her grandson John Barrymore, second great grandson John Blyth Barrymore, III and second great granddaughter Drew Barrymore.

 ARTSEDGE: The Candle and the Mirror
This lesson encourages students to examine author Louisa May Alcott as a pioneer, deeply dedicated to her family and to the ethical framework they represented, one who negotiated her way successfully through the difficulties of cultural displacement in pre-Civil War, Civil War, and post-Civil War America without compromising her ideals.
Louisa May Alcott, born in 1832 to a family deeply involved in the Transcendental movement, would spend her childhood surrounded by the strong advocates and the giant literary voices of this "Romanticism on Puritan soil." She would live through the dramatic changes effected by Civil War and the Reconstruction that followed.
The following activities are dedicated to immersing students in Louisa May Alcott’s world from three different perspectives: her experiences in the intellectual Transcendental environment of Concord, Massachusetts; her involvement in the abolitionist movement and the Civil War; and her role as a dynamic liberated woman who had gained fame and fortune as a novelist.

 Amazon.com: The Mystery at Lilac Inn (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 4): Books: Carolyn G. Keene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
As the series progressed and other writers began to generate Nancy Drew novels, the character changed and Nancy was "toned down;" instead of flatly rich, she became reasonably affluent; recklessness was replaced by commonsense caution; and while she might be willing to bend the law a bit she would never knowingly break it.
And not only is LILAC INN surprisingly violent for a Nancy Drew mystery, it also permits the normally unflappable herione to show her temper more than once.
The Nancy Drew books are not great literature by any stretch of the imagination--they are too distinctly formula for that--but they are competently written, literate, and never talk down to their target audience.
