Alice Wheeldon
Mrs Alice Ann Wheeldon (27 January 1866 - 21 February 1919) was a member of the Independent Labour Party, pacifist and anti-war campaigner. She was arrested in 1917 along with her family and imprisoned. Evidence given in the case against them appears to have been fabricated by "a government eager to disgrace the antiwar movement".

Famous quotes containing the word alice:
““I couldn’t afford to learn it,” said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. “I only took the regular course.”
“What was that?” inquired Alice.
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied; “and then the different branches of Arithmetic—Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
“I never heard of ‘Uglification,’” Alice ventured to say.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
