The story of Alice May.
Alice May Parkinson (1889 – 21 July 1949) was a New Zealand manslayer. She was born in Hampden, Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand in 1889.
Her subsequent trial and conviction became a subject of contemporary controversy for New Zealand socialist and feminist campaigners due to the perceived severity of her sentence compared to male criminals.
