Item Special Note
Receive a signed copy of Julie Scelfo's new book The Women Who Made New York, INCLUDING a visit by the author to the winning bidder's book club! The Women Who Made New York reveals the untold stories of the phenomenal women who made New York City the cultural epicenter of the world. Many were revolutionaries and activists, like Zora Neale Hurston and Audre Lorde. Others were icons and iconoclasts, like Fran Lebowitz and Grace Jones. There were also women who led quieter private lives but were just as influential, such as Emily Warren Roebling, who completed the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge when her engineer husband became too ill to work. Paired with striking, contemporary illustrations by artist Hallie Heald, The Women Who Made New York offers a visual sensation—one that reinvigorates not just New York City’s history but its very identity. The Women Who Made New York was praised by the NY Times Book Review, Maria Popova of Brain Pickings deemed it 'rigorously researched and elegantly written', and Kirkus described it as 'lively and fun'. Elle magazine picked it as 'one of the best books to read', NYmag's The Cut ran a feature about the Rainbow Room launch party, and the Village Voice featured it as part of its 2016 Best of NYC. Scelfo has also been featured on The Brian Lehrer Show, The TakeAway, C-SPAN and the MILK podcast.
