The first half was published in 1868 as Little Women: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The Story Of Their Lives. A Girl’s Book. It ended with John Brooke proposing marriage to Meg. In 1869, Alcott published Good Wives, the second half of the book. It, too, only took a few months to write.

第一部《小妇人：梅格、乔、贝丝和艾米的人生故事（女孩篇）》于1868年出版，以约翰·布鲁克向梅格求婚结尾。1869年，路易莎出版了第二部《好妻子》，这本书也是只花了几个月就写成了。

5. ALCOTT REFUSED TO HAVE JO MARRY LAURIE.

路易莎拒绝让乔嫁给劳里

Alcott, who never married herself, wanted Jo to remain unmarried, too. But while she was working on the second half of Little Women, fans were clamoring for Jo to marry the boy next door, Laurie. “Girls write to ask who the little women marry, as if that was the only aim and end of a woman’s life," Alcott wrote in her journal. "I won’t marry Jo to Laurie to please anyone.”

终身未婚的路易莎想让乔也不结婚。但是在她写第二部《小妇人》时，粉丝们强烈要求让乔嫁给邻居劳里。路易莎在她的日记中写道：“女孩们写信来问小妇人嫁给了谁，似乎这是一个女人一生的唯一目标和结局。我不会为了取悦任何人而把乔嫁给劳里。”

As a compromise—or to spite her fans—Alcott married Jo to the decidedly unromantic Professor Bhaer. Laurie ends up with Amy.
