Hotbed: Bohemian Greenwich Village and the Secret Club that Sparked Modern Feminism
by Joanna Scutts
Out now
They were women who were socialites, socialists, reformers, revolutionaries, artists, writers and scientists, and gathered together in a secret social club called Heterodoxy to discuss love, marriage, divorce and many other subjects. But this was New York in 1912, and by the time the US entered the Second World War in 1917, free speech was under threat. Members of the social club were arrested, sending left wing activism underground for a generation. But their ideas lived on, forming the bedrock of modern feminism, and they were so influential that once British author Joanna Scutts began to dig into their history, she became convinced they should be better known. Her book Hotbed: Bohemian Greenwich Village and the Secret Club that Sparked Modern Feminism, is the never-before-told story of Heterdoxy, and in an exclusive interview with All About Women, the author said, “It felt like a timely story.”
