“Eve Adams: Daring Life, Dangerous Times” with Dr. Ned Katz
In 1912, Chawa Z艂oczower, a Jewish Polish immigrant made her way to the US and soon helped publicize the anarchist speeches of Emma Goldman. Later, Z艂oczower took the name Eve Adams, and toured America, getting paid to sell radical leftist magazines. In 1925 she published a unique, pioneering book, Lesbian Love, containing stories of women she had met. Her activism drew the Ire of US FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, ultimately leading to Adams鈥 deportation back to Poland and tragic murder in Auschwitz. Join Jonathan Ned Katz, historian and author of the 2021 biography, The Daring Life and Dangerous Times of Eve Adams, for a conversation about Adams鈥 adventurous life, his work to uncover her story as a vibrant resistor, and what it means in today鈥檚 troubled social world.
