Yucatan through her Eyes: Alice Dixon Le Plongeon, Writer and Expeditionary Photographer

摘要

Alice Dixon Le Plongeon was a character, no doubt about it. A writer, photographer, explorer, Mayan archaeologist, public lecturer, committed Spiritualist and women's rights activist, Alice Dixon Le Plongeon is almost impossible to sum up or pin down; she made 'her own rules as she went along' (p. xxi). This biography is the first serious attempt to present a full account of her remarkable life. The volume itself is beautiful, thanks especially to the inclusion of 71 photographs that Alice and her husband Augustus took during their years of expeditions in Yucatan.
