Alice L. MacGowan (December 10, 1858 – March 10, 1947) was an American writer.
She was born in Perrysburg, Ohio, the daughter of John Encil MacGowan and Malvina Marie Johnson.[1] The family moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee,[2] where her sister Grace was born.[3] Alice was educated in public schools in addition to being home schooled by her father,[1] a captain during the American Civil War and editor of the Chattanooga Times from 1872–1903.[4] She was living with her sister at Upton Sinclair's Helicon Home Colony in 1907 when it burned to the ground. Both were taken to Englewood Hospital to recover.[5]
She became a writer of short stories and novels, while collaborating with her sister Grace on most of her works.[6] Together they would write over 30 novels, about a hundred short stories, and some poetry.[4] Briefly married, Alice lived in Texas working as a governess.[2] In 1908, Alice, Grace and their mother relocated to Carmel in California, where they were a member of art community.[2] There she collaborated on works with writer and actor Perry Newberry.[7]
