Of course you can stop before the marriages, with everything still possible. UK editions of Little Women do end there. But in the US, Little Women is bundled into one volume with its sad sequel Good Wives, and most adaptations embrace both books. And anyway, is it cheating to end halfway through? We all know the girls’ possibilities are closed down as they become women, and maybe that was Alcott’s point. In the book, Jo and the Professor do open their school, but it's a school for boys (that later includes some girls, including family members and orphans). Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women focuses much more on modern-day views of feminism and the school opened in the movie is meant to help girls to get a better education -- one that won't include corporal punishment, as Amy is subjected to earlier in the movie.
