Alice sounds like a real character. Maybe even more so than her Dad. I was looking at her wiki biography. And apparently McCarthy called her Alice at a party and she said “The policeman in my neighborhood and my garbage man call me Alice but you may not.” Heh interesting lady, I think she was one of those interesting people who grew more radical with age.
I think she resented not being able to live life as a human being —just as a woman. No advanced education, or opportunity for adventure . She seemed to be her Dad’s heir apparent, but was stifled by the family.
