FORGOTTEN VERSE


Alice Meynell

Alice Meynell (1847-1922) was born in England, but spent much of her youth in Italy. She converted to Roman Catholicism in 1877 at the age of 25, and married the editor of a catholic newspaper, Wilfrid Meynell, in 1877. Her sister Mimi was the first of the family to find fame as a popular artist exhibiting at the Royal Academy in London. And it was with the aid of Mimi's illustrations to her first volume of poetry in 1875 that Alice was able to launch her career in writing. Alice worked tirelessly for the Women's Suffrage Movement, and her collected poems were published to wide acclaim in 1913.
