Lucretia's Quaker family moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and then to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She went to Millbrook, New York, to attend Nine Partners School, a Quaker school, where she met James Mott, a teacher at the school. Lucretia and James were married in 1811. After graduating from Nine Partners School, she taught there. Later, Lucretia became a Quaker minister. James and Lucretia made their home in Philadelphia.
Throughout her life, Lucretia was active in reform efforts, writing and speaking eloquently and passionately about the topics that she believed in, as well as organizing and attending meetings and conventions. Lucretia was instrumental in the founding of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1834. She also was very involved with the Pennsylvania Peace Society, the American Anti-Slavery Society, and women's suffrage activities. She, her sister Martha Coffin Wright, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were the movers behind the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. She also worked closely with Lucy Stone and Susan Brownell Anthony. Since she was very interested in supporting higher education, Lucretia was one of the founders of Swarthmore College and actively supported the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania.
In addition to the individuals mentioned above, her vast personal network included numerous people, including Rachel Foster Avery, Amanda Deyo, Mary J. Scarlett Dixon, Frederick Douglass, Priscilla Holmes Drake, William Lloyd Garrison, Anna Davis Hallowell, Agnes Nininger Kemp, Martha H. Mowry, Wendell Phillips, M.

Alcott lived in Boston with her family during her youth and moved with them to Harvard where her father, transcendentalist Amos Bronson Alcott, had formed the Fruitlands community. Later, the family moved back to Concord. During the Civil War, Louisa worked as a nurse in Washington, D.C. While an illness halted her service shortly after it had started, the experience was the inspiration for Hospital Sketches (1863). James Redpath, her publisher, also published her On Picket Duty, and Other Tales the next year.
During her career, Louisa wrote numerous books under her own name and several thrillers under her pseudonym, A. M. Barnard. Her most famous book was Little Women published by Roberts Brothers in 1868. This book was illustrated by her sister May Alcott Nieriker, an artist whose profile is in A Woman of the Century. Louisa also edited Merry's Museum from 1868 to 1879 and wrote pieces for periodicals such as The Atlantic Monthly and The Independent.
Louisa's extensive social network included authors Ednah Dow Cheney, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Elizabeth Powell Bond, Henry David Thoreau, and her uncle, reformer Samuel Joseph May.
By 1883, Louisa was living in Concord and caring for both her elderly father and her niece Lu, whose mother May had passed away shortly after her birth. The Indianapolis Journal reprinted Louisa's letter to Lucy Stone that while she was interested in woman's suffrage, her family obligations prevented her from attending the Woman's Suffrage National Convention. Louisa also expressed her frustration at the lack of interest in the topic by many of Concord's women and hoped that the women at the Convention could help to provide motivation for ""these slothful sisters."" Later that year, Louisa was one of ten women who sent a joint letter to the Massachusetts and Republican State Central Committees. As The Greenville Times notes, ""They believe that the establishment of political rights for women is essential to the highest good of the state."" The other women were Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, Mary G. Ames, Mary A. Livermore, Mary F. Eastman, Ednah D. Cheney, Mary C. Shannon, Mary Shannon, and Susan E. B. Channing. Louisa continued to support the cause during the 1880s.
