Alice Person: Good Medicine and Good Music

Alice Person, known during her life as Mrs. Joe Person, was a woman ahead of her time. Professional musician, patent medicine entrepreneur, women's rights advocate—all are appropriate titles for this colorful North Carolinian. The convergence of several occurrences in her life led her to earn these titles at a time when such activities on the part of a woman were looked at askance. Alice's musical endeavors were closely associated with her other activities. For this reason, the following exhibit, while focusing on Alice's music, presents information on all aspects of her life.

For ease of navigation within this exhibit, the digital resources have been grouped into the following three categories:

Link Music
