This first biography of Alice Howe Gibbens James - wife of the psychologist and philosopher William James, and sister-in-law of novelist Henry James - was made possible by the rediscovery of hundreds of her letters and papers. Susan E. Gunter positions Alice as a lens through which to view the family, as a perceptive observer privy to knowledge of relationships to which those outside the James family were not.
