Come to our Next Event:
HIDDEN HISTORY!
with Drs. Amy Aronson
(Communications & Media)
& Leonard Cassuto (English)
History has almost forgotten one of its most influential progressives: a seminal force in the founding of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who was an early 20th century journalist, entrepreneur, activist, attorney --
and woman.
Powerful women can also be found in the shadows of the 20th century's classic hard-boiled detective story. The real who-done-it is how the male authors of this genre derived their domestic themes from women's writing of a century earlier. The surprise ending is that the American crime novel can consequently be read as a commentary on the social reform movements that those women readers and writers initiated--
--reform movements like the ACLU!
