Summary

This volume tells the story of Alice Liddell (1852-1934), the real girl who inspired the children's classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, whose protagonist Alice is said to be named after her. This biographical work, arranged in a scrapbook style, uses photographs, original artwork, and archival material to explore the real life and Victorian world in which Alice Liddell lived. Liddell became a celebrity who maintained her best qualities as she matured, and utilized her influence to help further the rights of women, and of people, in general. Liddell was a product of the Victorian upper classes, and had relationships with the elites and even with members of the royal family. Because of her connections, and her growing influence, she was able to work toward breaking down barriers for women in an era when such progressive societal advances were very difficult to achieve
