TANA WOJCZUK: Lady Romeo
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Today we discuss how NOT to store keepsake infant bellybuttons, the ignorance of non-mask-wearing Americans, and the fabulous queer shows Betty, Euphoria, We’re Here, Legendary, and Gentleman Jack.  

Our wonderful guest is writer Tana Wojczuk, author of the new book, Lady Romeo: The Radical and Revolutionary Life of Charlotte Cushman, America's First Celebrity. It’s an enthralling biography of 19th-century queer actress Charlotte Cushman, and portrays her radical lifestyle that made headlines across America. We LOVED this book and really enjoyed hearing all about Tana’s extensive research process and dedication to telling Cushman’s story with such love.
