Why to Read: | Based on two of the most intriguing real life figures to ever come out of Chicago, this series presents an impeccable look at the women who were equal parts pioneers for women’s rights as they were brilliant businesswomen. Playing over the beautifully cinematic world of 1900s Chicago, and bursting at the seams with a deftly drawn supporting cast, this series offers endless potential for story long before the historical prospects come in to play. With the political, civil, and legal turmoil of the city all woven into the tapestry of what this brothel stands for, and what is permanently threatening to erupt from under the surface, this series presents an incredibly fresh, intelligent, and intriguing look at the sex, lies, and dramas of early 20th Century Chicago. |
