Author of Little Women (6)
I believe the answer is:
alcott
'author of little women' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for alcott that I've seen before include "Author of Little Women, d. 1888" , "Lousia May ---, US author" , "'Louisa May ..., author of Little Women (6)'" , "Louisa, a writer" , "Novelist" .)
