Which term is used to describe the author of Little Women?

In citations, authors are often listed with the last name first to help sort and organize sources. The author of Little Women is Louisa May Alcott, and in this format you’d write the name as Alcott, Louisa May. That makes it clear who wrote the work and fits standard bibliographic conventions, which is why this form is the best description of the author. The other options refer to a person’s name in a different context, a poetry term, or a narrative point of view, none of which identify the book’s author.
