Louisa M —, author of Little Women (6)
I believe the answer is:
alcott
(Other definitions for alcott that I've seen before include "Louisa May . . . . . . wrote 'Little Women'" , "'Louisa May ..., author of Little Women (6)'" , "Author of Little Women, d. 1888" , "Louisa, a writer" , "Lousia May ---, US author" .)
