Sarah Elbert (January 5, 1936 - August 3, 2019) was an American literary historian.
Elbert was hired as a visiting assistant professor in 1973 at Binghamton University and remained there for the rest of her career. Her appointment was regularized when she received her Ph.D the following year and she was promoted to associate professor in 1981. "The author or editor of six books, Elbert is best known for her work on Louisa May Alcott, which originated with her dissertation. When graduate student Elbert reread Little Women, which she had read as a child, she realized that it contained a subtext that 'dealt with issues of women’s rights, of slavery and other social reforms.'"[2]
