SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Author Talk | Siobhan Moroney\, "Chicagoland Dream Houses"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Dr. Siobhan Moroney\, an associate professor of politics at Lake Forest College\, discusses her recent book Chicagoland Dream Houses: How a Mid-Century Architecture Competition Reimagined the American Home (2024). \nIn-depth and extensively illustrated\, Chicagoland Dream Houses revisits this overlooked chapter in Chicago and architectural history. Organizers conceived the competition to help remedy the postwar housing crisis and it received front-page news coverage and an exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. It also had the rare distinction of taking designs from paper to reality\, an accomplishment that brought out two hundred thousand people to tour finished homes. Yet the contest ultimately failed in its aim to inspire new home construction that would solve Chicago’s housing shortage. Dr. Moroney situates the competition in its time both socially and architecturally\, analyzing floor plans and other materials to reveal how the designs reflected the expectations of middle-class families and the social norms that dictated their everyday lives and aspirations. \nFree; RSVP required. \nCHM Member Bonus\nMembers are invited to an exclusive book signing and Q&A session with Dr. Moroney prior to the public talk. \n RSVP for Book Signing & Q&A\nSchedule\n6:00 p.m. – CHM member-exclusive book signing and Q&A session with Dr. Moroney\n7:00 p.m. – Public author talk\n8:15 p.m. – Event concludes

SUMMARY:Livestreamed Author Talk | Dr. Cookie Woolner\, “The Famous Lady Lovers”
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a livestreamed author talk with Dr. Cookie Woolner (she/her) of the University of Memphis as she discusses her book\, The Famous Lady Lovers: Black Women and Queer Desire Before Stonewall (University of North Carolina Press\, Sept. 2023)\, which draws upon research conducted at numerous archives\, including the Chicago History Museum. \nBlack queer women have shaped American culture since long before the era of gay liberation. Decades prior to the Stonewall Uprising\, in the 1920s and 1930s\, Black “lady lovers”—as women who loved women were then called—crafted a queer world. In the cabarets\, rent parties\, speakeasies\, literary salons\, and universities of the Jazz Age and Great Depression\, communities of Black lady lovers grew\, and queer flirtations flourished. \nDr. Woolner uncovers the intimate lives of performers\, writers\, and educators such as Bessie Smith\, Ethel Waters\, Gladys Bentley\, Alice Dunbar-Nelson\, and Lucy Diggs Slowe\, along with the many everyday women she encountered in the archives. \nThis program is offered in a hybrid manner. Registration is required for all attendees: \n\nRegister to attend virtually on Zoom\, which is free.\nRegister to attend in-person\, which is free with general admission to the Museum.
