About the author
Belle Moses was an American author and biographer who lived from 1859 to 1940. Library and archival records identify her as a writer, and her books include Lewis Carroll in Wonderland and at Home and Louisa May Alcott, Dreamer and Worker.
Archival material at Duke University describes her as the sister of writer and critic Montrose J. Moses, and notes that the family papers contain manuscripts by Belle Moses along with her research notes, letters, clippings, and diary material. That record gives a nice sense of how seriously she approached her work and how much of her career centered on literary and biographical writing.
Her books are still discoverable through public-domain and library collections, which has helped keep her work available to modern readers. I couldn't confirm a reliable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
