Doll News Fall 2019 - 67

Madame Alexander's Louisa May
Alcott doll (#1529), from 1970,
featuring the Mary Ann face
(close up).

of the medical practices and the unprecedented hospital
work of women. The opening sentence read: "I WANT
something to do." In the book she tells of her motivations
and trepidations. She conveys how the patients and
their wounds were dealt with at facilities that were
understaffed, under-supplied, and unprepared for the
toll of war. Her nursing career came to an end when she
fell ill with typhoid fever. She eventually recovered from
the fever through the use of mercury-based calomel but
suffered from the effects of the cure for the rest of her
life. Madame Alexander produced a Louisa May Alcott
doll. As Madame was a fan of the book Little Women, the
creation of a doll depicting its author seemed inevitable.
Mention of the Underground Railroad in conjunction
with the Alcott family instantly leads to the historically
important Harriet Tubman. While best known for her
work as a "conductor" on the Underground Railroad,
she also served as a Civil War nurse. Born into slavery
in 1820, raised on Maryland's Eastern Shore, she fled
to freedom in Pennsylvania via the Underground
Railroad in 1849. She in turn felt the need to help others
escape. During a ten-year span she made 19 trips into
the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom. As
she once proudly pointed out to Frederick Douglass, in
all of her journeys she "never lost a single passenger."

Hospital Sketches by Louisa May Alcott,
published in 1863.
