Alice Lee Moqué (née Hornor; formerly Snelling; October 20, 1861 – July 16, 1919) was an American traveler, writer, newspaper correspondent, photographer, and suffragist.

Alice Lee Horner was a daughter of Judge Charles West Hornor, a lawyer and abolitionist from a Philadelphia Quaker family,[2] and his second wife Sarah Elizabeth Smith from Augusta, Georgia.

[4] However, Library of Congress authority records list her birth year as 1863,[6] and the Congressional Cemetery, where her ashes were buried, reports 1861.

[2][14][15] These interests were shared by her son Walter, a chemist who later developed a light-sensitive coating for photographic paper using TNT.

[2] She wrote for the newspapers on a wide range of topics from Washington society news[20] and suffrage reports to bicycling and travel.

"An enthusiastic follower of all out door sports, Mrs. Moqué not only skates, rows and cycles, but is an expert swimmer and a fair shot with a rifle.

[2][21] With John Oliver Moqué, Alice toured England and the continent "by wheel", publishing accounts of the trip in Outing: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine of Sport, Travel, and Recreation in 1895.

The bloomered and short-skirted women of to-day, who merrily ride away in freedom and comfort, do not dream of what we of earlier days went through.

Moqué explicitly states that those who do not wish to become parents should be free not to do so; informed and willing motherhood is hailed as "an intelligent realization of the divine plan of reproduction, a perfect, purposed maternity.

Her address, "Restrictive marriage legislation from the standpoint of the wife, mother and home" was printed in The Journal of the American Medical Association."

She criticized "blind conservatism", arguing that "to the student of biology, sociology, and ethnology, the institution we call marriage...is identical in purpose" to mating in the lower animals.

[30]: 526  She advocated mandatory blood tests before marriage to detect sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis, which was untreatable and caused horrific birth defects.

She asserted that ethicists must someday recognize "rights of the unborn",[30]: 528  and supported sterilization if heredity or disease was likely to cause "a crime against progeny".

[30]: 527 In her article "An educated maternity", published in The Westminster Review of 1900, it is clear that she looks to science as a means of progressive change and remediation of society's ills.

[31] The true spirit of philanthropic effort recognises the necessity of not only alleviating the evils we have, but the urgent obligation to seek for and discover their cause, that ultimately a cure may be effected, whereby the whole race will be benefited.

She noted that nurses had already demonstrated their "nerve, heroism, and fearlessness" in battlefield conditions facing the same risks as men.

She exhorted "Columbia's splendid daughters" to take jobs at home as "aeroplane scouts, ambulance drivers, observers, machine gun corps" and others, to enable more men to go to the front.

Although his name and birth year were listed on Alice Lee Moqué's headstone, he was buried with Mary Ida Cole in Fort Lincoln Cemetery in Brentwood, Maryland.
