Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death (inbunden, eng)
Produktbeskrivning
In this first biography of Norris, independent scholar Eve Kahn restores her legacy, illuminating her work as a novelist, magazine publisher, and social reformer who challenged the powerful and gave voice to the oppressed. A prolific writer and editor, Norris chronicled the struggles of Lower East Side immigrants in her self-published periodical The East Side, often going undercover to report on the harsh realities of tenement life.
She documented tragedies such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, publicly denounced predatory men, and advised women on seizing control of their destinies. With her bohemian spirit, she led the Ragged Edge Klub, a gathering of artists, writers, and social critics who rejected the status quo.
But Norris's courage came at a personal cost. Her life was marked by tumultuous relationships, family estrangement, and battles against the very injustices she exposed. She endured financial struggles, unfaithful or deadbeat husbands, and social ostracization for her refusal to remain silent.
In her final issue of The East Side, she eerily predicted her own death, an uncanny premonition that made national headlines before she faded into obscurity. With meticulous research and captivating storytelling, Kahn brings Norris's extraordinary life back into the spotlight.
Drawing on newly uncovered archival materials, including Norris's own writings, letters, and investigative reports, Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death sheds light on a fearless journalist whose influence on investigative reporting and social justice continues to be felt today.
This biography is a compelling testament to the power of the written word in the fight for truth and equity.
