Cocktails, Flappers and Prohibition: Fun things I learned while writing historical fiction
Monday, January 13, 2020, 1:15 PM The Nineteenth Century Club (178 Forest Avenue, Oak Park, IL) Focusing on the paradoxes and social tensions around flappers, gin joints and those who favored temperance, local historian and author Susanna Calkins will share how she conceived of her “Speakeasy Mysteries” set in Chicago, 1929. How did the attitudes toward women impact how she created her protagonist, Gina Ricca, a cigarette seller on her first day on the job in a Chicago speakeasy? $15 suggested donation (non-members) helps support our Enrichment Series.
