Alice + Freda forever : a murder in Memphis
Alexis Coe (Author), Sally Klann (Illustrator)
Recounts a real-life, lesbian love story--set in late 19th century America-- that ended tragically with the public murder of seventeen-year-old Freda Ward by her lover Alice Mitchell, who was subsequently declared insane and committed to an asylum where she died under mysterious circumstances. Coe includes over 100 illustrated love letters, maps, artifacts, historical documents, newspaper articles, courtroom proceedings, and intimate, domestic scenes--painting a picture of a sadly familiar world. --Adapted from publisher description
