Scholar Eve M. Kahn discusses her new book, Queen of Bohemia Predicts Own Death: Gilded Age Journalist Zoe Anderson Norris. Zoe Anderson Norris was a Kentucky belle turned restless Kansas housewife who became a celebrated writer, reformer, and publisher on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Queen of Bohemia retraces Zoe’s path across the city, bringing to life a New York where many of the buildings that witnessed her activism still stand today. Along the way, Kahn reveals a journalist who blended incisive social critique with a love for the city’s beauty and a deep passion for community.
