Nineteen-year-old Alice Mitchell had planned to pass as a man in order to marry her seventeen-year-old fiancée Freda Ward, but when their love letters were discovered, they were forbidden from ever speaking again. Freda adjusted to this fate with an ease that stunned a heartbroken Alice. Her desperation grew with each unanswered letter--and her father's razor soon went missing. On January 25, Alice publicly slashed her ex-fiancée's throat. Her same-sex love was deemed insane by her father that very night, and medical experts agreed: This was a dangerous and incurable perversion. As the courtroom was expanded to accommodate national interest, Alice spent months in jail--including the night that three of her fellow prisoners were lynched (an event which captured the attention of journalist and civil rights activist Ida B. Wells). After a jury of \"the finest men in Memphis\" declared Alice insane, she was remanded to an asylum, where she died under mysterious circumstances just a few years later.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49328967123248,"sku":"BDdk6i","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/537182-dk6i-Square.jpg?v=1733731143","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dk6i","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
