If anyone has birth and death dates for Elsa Bakalar, please add them. I couldn't find any. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mos bratrud (talk • contribs) 18:50, 8 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Based on a 1990 Boston Globe article that mentioned her age as 71 and several sources that state she was 75 when A Garden of One's Own was published in 1994, I think it's a safe guess that Elsa Bakalar was born in 1919. As of January 2008, she was known to be residing in a nursing home and she is not listed in the Social Security Death Index yet, so she is probably still alive. --Oddharmonic (talk) 03:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
