Louisa May ---, author of Little Women (6)

I believe the answer is:

alcott

(Other definitions for alcott that I've seen before include "Author of Little Women, d. 1888" , "Lousia May ---, US author" , "Louisa, a writer" , "Novelist" , "'Louisa May ..., author of Little Women (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
