Description

Bedridden from a young age and diagnosed with the catchall term “hysteria,” Henry and William James’s sister, Alice, kept an account of her slow decline toward death in a diary that has made her something of a feminist icon. In this week’s mini, find out how she felt about the Jack the Ripper murders and why her writing wasn’t published until half a century after her death. For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
