This article analyzes British women's historian Alice Clark's
(1874-1934) encounters with tuberculosis, in order to chart her rejection
of an invalid identity for a more autonomous sense of self. It also
compares and contrasts the effect of tuberculosis on her life with that
of her elder brother, John Bright Clark, in order to distinguish how
sex, gender, class, and historical context affect the impact of this
disease. Third, it examines the disease process from the consumptive's
point of view, seeking to acknowledge Alice Clark's agency in choosing
how to live with and die from this disease.
