Popular culture assumes that women are born to shop and that cities welcome their trade. But for a long time, America’s downtowns were hardly welcoming to women. This talk examines how female shoppers transformed the cultural and physical landscape of Chicago’s Loop a century ago, laying the foundation for a mass consumer economy supported by women.
All lectures are free and open to the public. No tickets required.
