A Shoppers’ Paradise: How the Ladies of Chicago Claimed Power and Pleasure in the New Downtown
Emily Remus
Popular culture assumes that women are born to shop and that cities invite their trade. But downtowns were not always welcoming to women. Emily Remus turns to Chicago at the turn of the last century to chronicle an unheralded revolution in women’s rights that took place not at the ballot box but in the streets and stores of the business district.
