This week's election of Brandon Johnson as the next mayor of #Chicago has invited a lot of comparisons to Harold Washington who was elected the first Black mayor of Chicago 40 years ago.

Madame Restell, aka Ann Trow Lohman, came to America in search of better economic opportunity. And she found it, providing abortions in NYC. As attitudes towards abortion shifted during the 19th Century, Madame Restell's legal jeopardy increased, leading to the fateful moment when Anthony Comstock knocked on her office door.
Join me, and guest Jennifer Wright, to hear the story of Madame Restell on #UnsungHistory.
Between 1851 and 1910 the ratio of men to women arriving in NYC from Ireland was roughly equal. Irish women often took jobs in domestic service, drawn by the provided housing, food, and clothing, which allowed them to send the bulk of their earnings back home to Ireland.

As devastating as the great Chicago fire of 1871 was, it was far from the deadliest event in the city's history.

This week on #UnsungHistory we discuss the disaster and its causes with special guests, Barb and Ted Wachholz from the Eastland Disaster Historical Society.

I want to make a Buzzfeed-style quiz that's like "tell me your favorite color socks, your go-to midnight snack, and which celebrity you had a crush on in 8th grade, and I'll tell you which #UnsungHistory episode you'll enjoy."

#OnThisDay in 1965, Patsy Mink of Hawaii was sworn in as the first Asian American woman & first woman of color to serve in the U.S. Congress.
Mink supported legislation to help women, especially women of color & women in poverty. She co-authored the landmark Title IX Amendment of the Higher Education Act. After Mink’s death in 2002, Title IX was renamed the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.
#OnThisDay in 1775, the Continental Northern Army failed in their attempt to capture Quebec, in large part because a smallpox outbreak had weakened & diminished their forces. George Washington's eventual decision to order mass inoculation of the army proved successful in avoiding that fate in the future.

Happy Birthday to Elizabeth Parsons Ware Packard, born in Massachusetts #OnThisDay in 1816. Packard's domineering husband committed her to a hospital for the mentally ill when she began expressing religious opinions different than his. Finally, after 3 years she was able to have a jury trial, and she shared her story with the world and began her remarkable career as a writer & social reformer.

New #introduction on a new instance!
I am the producer/host of the #UnsungHistory #podcast, where I look at (mostly) lesser-known stories in US #History, generally through a focus on marginalized groups.
I also co-host What Can I Do, a podcast about #political #activism & getting involved.
My day job is in university administration, and when I am not working or podcasting I am #knitting, #running, reading mystery novels or museum hopping.
I live in #Chicago with my husband, 2 sons & 3 cats.
