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