Biography
American noted family, the third daughter of Amos Alcott and sister of Louisa May Alcott. A quiet young girl, she loved pets and her family and was a homebody. She became the model for Beth in "Little Women." At her father's wishes, she was named after Elizbeth Peabody, an educator and Bronson Alcott's assistant. But later, Mrs. Alcott, changed her child's name in the family Bible to Elizabeth Sewall Alcott.
