Through her interactions with various characters in Wonderland, Alice grapples with issues of power, identity, and agency, all of which are relevant to discussions of gender representation.- Alice’s character in Disney’s adaptations of "Alice in Wonderland" offers a complex and multifaceted portrayal of gender.
