The Daring Life and Dangerous Times of Eve Adams By: Jonathan Ned Katz [Audiobook]

Author: Jonathan Ned Katz
Narrated by: Romy Nordlinger

Eve Adams was a rebel. Born Chawa Zloczewer into a Jewish family in Poland, Adams emigrated to the United States in 1912. The young woman befriended anarchists, sold radical publications, took a new name, and ran lesbian-and-gay-friendly speakeasies in Chicago and New York. Then, in 1925, Adams risked all to write and publish a book titled Lesbian Love. In a repressive era, long before today’s gay liberation movement, when American women had just gained the right to vote, Adams’s bold activism caught the attention of the young J. Edgar Hoover and the US Bureau of Investigation, leading to her surveillance and arrest. 

In a case that pitted immigration officials, the New York City police, and a biased informer against her, Adams was convicted of publishing an obscene book and of attempted sex with a policewoman sent to entrap her. Adams was jailed and then deported back to Europe, and ultimately murdered by Nazis in Auschwitz.

In The Daring Life and Deadly Times of Eve Adams, acclaimed historian Jonathan Ned Katz has recovered the extraordinary story of an early daring activist. Drawing on startling evidence, carefully distinguishing fact from fiction, Katz presents the first biography of Adams, and the publisher reprints the long-lost text of Adams’s rare, unique book Lesbian Love.

Book Description
===================
Eve Adams was a rebel. Born Chawa Zloczewer into a Jewish family in
Poland, Adams emigrated to the United States in 1912. The young woman
befriended anarchists, sold radical publications, took a new name, and
ran lesbian-and-gay-friendly speak-easies in Chicago and New York.
Then, in 1925, Adams risked all to write and publish a book titled
Lesbian Love. In a repressive era, long before today's gay liberation
movement, when American women had just gained the right to vote,
Adams's bold activism caught the attention of the young J. Edgar
Hoover and the US Bureau of Investigation, leading to her surveillance
and arrest.
In a case that pitted immigration officials, the New York City police,
and a biased informer against her, Adams was convicted of publishing
an obscene book and of attempted sex with a policewoman sent to entrap
her. Adams was jailed and then deported back to Europe, and ultimately
murdered by Nazis in Auschwitz.
