The Boston link could do with updating to point to the appropriate Boston article, but I'm not sure which it is. -- John 23:29, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Alcott wrote through the rest of her life, finally succumbing to the aftereffects of mercury poisoning contracted during her Civil War service
This could benefit from some explanation -- what was she doing during the war to contract mercury poisoning? Something to do with the treatment of syphilis perhaps? Flapdragon 7 July 2005 16:23 (UTC)
The article says: 'and were later referred to as "dangerous for little minds" in Alcott's own novel Little Women'
I have found no such a reference in the book (searching in the electronic text by "dangerous" or "minds").May be the sentence comes from another book?-- Bradomín 12:58, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the bibliography - put it in chronological order, bracketed the dates, separated those she published under another name - I double checked everything on the web and yes before I'd realised it, I'd changed some of the dates. As far as I can find from my research, for some books there is no definitive date as it seems to skip between years depending on which reference source you use. So by all means change them back but I'm not sure what the point is. I also removed the direct links to the text of the books as these are covered in the external links section - where most of the books can be found online.

Louisa May Alcott was (and is) a major American novelist and deserves better than this article. Thanks are certainly due to the people who did some cleanup on the facutal side, but a far more comprehensive biography and critical assessment of her work are needed. Grammar, syntax, and style need a complete overhaul. Alcott was a consummate writer whose command of the language puts this article to shame. No film version has ever done justice to Alcott's work; let's see if we can do better in print.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I. Intro
A. In the introductory paragraph before it talks about the work Louisa May Alcott is known for, I want to put some information. I would also like to add a few other things towards the end.
1. Where she grew up.
2. If she went on to do anything else
3. When and where she passed away.
II. “Childhood and Early Work” section
A. I would edit things, like her father’s birthday she is born on, and maybe even the quote from him to a friend about his daughter’s birth. It’s a nice touch, but seems out of place. Even so, the quote should come after the location of her birth.
B. I would edit and change around things to put them more eloquently, maybe putting paragraph changes in.
C. There is also some copyediting to be done.
D. I would add more about her and her father’s relationship, which seemed to be close, but not healthy.
E. I would condense the places they moved into one paragraph, not multiple
F. I would add information about her sisters and how they ended up, seeing as they were integral to her most famous story.
G. I would move the short paragraph “as an adult” to the next section because it doesn’t fit.
III. “Literary Success and Later Life” section
A. I would talk a bit more about how hard/not hard it was for her to be published.
B. Where it talks of her advocacy of women’s suffrage, this is where I would move the paragraph from the previous section about her abolitionism and feminism.
IV. I am debating on adding a new section called “Legacy”
A. Reasons being:
1. Her books are very famous and studied in schools and beloved by many.
2. I want to see how they have impacted us today slightly, for I have found articles on such things.
B. I would also discuss here how her work was received then and now.
V. I am also debating on adding a section called “Adaptions”
A. Little Women had been made into 3 movies over the years (1933, 1949, and 1994) along with multiple TV series (one called “Good Wives)
B. Jo’s Boys has also been a TV series.
The sources I will officially be using (as of now) are:
If any other sources occur to me, I will add them to this list. Katierenee88
You have a really solid start to your page. There is a lot of depth in this article and about Alcotts life. At first glance at the article I think that the two sections there are could be made into their own. I like your idea about the more eloquent look that paragraph breaks would give the article. There is a lot of good information so I think you should be hesitant at what you delete and decide to keep for use. Great start and should be a great article Dmbfan85 ( talk) 20:45, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I took a look at the article, made some copy edits and fixed some of the reference formatting. I indicated some places that need a reference. I also moved all of the 1850s and 1860s information together chronologically and eliminated some repetition. Finally, I left a few hidden comments for you in the text. To see them, hit the edit tab, and you will see them in CAPS. After you address the hidden comments, just delete them. Here are a few random thoughts:
In general, the writing is good, and it looks like you are really picking up Wikipedia. Make sure that every reference or cite includes all of the following information, to the extent that it is available: author name (last name first), title of the article, the name of the publication, the name of the publisher, the date of publication (or just the year if it's a book), the url or page number, and the access date if it is an online source.

At the end of the introduction, I added "citation needed" for the cause of her death. The American Transcendentalism Web, which doesn't let me paste its URL here, states that she died from the long-term effects of mercury poisoning. Of course, she could have died from a stroke brought about by mercury poisoning. I don't know what she died from. Perhaps someone with a reliable biography can edit this and cite a source. I also changed "passed" to "died." We say "passed" in order to be gentle to the bereaved. On Wikipedia, I think that we should be straightforward and not use euphemisms.

This historian found evidence that Louis Alcott was actually a trans man: https://twitter.com/peytonology/status/1516612189687324673 . Therefore, the article should be updated to talk about this - as well as including Alcott's actual name and pronouns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.35.8 ( talk) 01:45, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

At the end of the introduction, I added "citation needed" for the cause of her death. The American Transcendentalism Web, which doesn't let me paste its URL here, states that she died from the long-term effects of mercury poisoning. Of course, she could have died from a stroke brought about by mercury poisoning. I don't know what she died from. Perhaps someone with a reliable biography can edit this and cite a source. I also changed "passed" to "died." We say "passed" in order to be gentle to the bereaved. On Wikipedia, I think that we should be straightforward and not use euphemisms.

The link is in the Selected Works tab under "in popular culture", it is to the 2005 musical adaptation, which does have a wikipedia page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Women_(musical) the link is broken and I do not know how to fix it. 2603:9009:BF0:A750:5569:8877:7611:DECC ( talk) 05:47, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, there. I am a student employed and paid hourly by the BYU library to edit Wikipedia. The library has a Louisa May Alcott collection that my co-worker Adri-at-BYU and I will draw upon as we contribute to this article. Heidi Pusey BYU ( talk) 20:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
