After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

A little bit about Hotbed, for new followers & friends: it’s the story of a secret (ish) club of radical feminists in Greenwich Village in the 1910s who were trying to define this new term as they lived it. They were trying to figure out how to live politically and personally honest lives.

I wanted to write about their network, in part to fight the great-individual school of biography, which publishers still prioritize. But also because I think it takes courage to live on your own terms - and friendship, which is the core of this story.
