Description
Alice + Freda Forever A Murder in Memphis by Alexis Coe is a heart-wrenching true story of love and intolerance. In 1892, Alice Mitchell's life was turned upside down when her same-sex love for Freda Ward was deemed insane by her father and the law. The tragic events that followed are well-documented, including the public slashing of Freda's throat and Alice's subsequent imprisonment and mistreatment in an asylum. This book tells the story through over 100 illustrated love letters, maps, artifacts, historical documents, newspaper articles, courtroom proceedings, and intimate domestic scenes. A powerful exploration of a forgotten era, Alice + Freda Forever sheds light on a dark period in American history and the struggles faced by those who dared to be different.
