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:
““Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on.
“I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “Why you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
