Omschrijving
One January day in 1923, a young boy came across the dead body of a woman on a San Diego beach. When the police arrived, they found the woman’s calling card, which read simply, ‘I am Fritzie Mann.’ Yet Fritzie’s identity, as revealed in this compelling history, was anything but simple, and her death captured public attention for months.
“In this gripping account and analysis, historian Amy Absher skillfully exposes the perilous path of a woman who ventured to claim public space and take control of her destiny in an ostensibly new era. Instead, she faced a tsunami of male domination, and even after her murder, misogyny and journalistic sensationalism enveloped her body, her death, and her public memory. A woeful parable set in 1922, its lessons continue to ripple outward a century later.”—Peter Boag, author of Pioneering Death: The Violence of Boyhood in Turn-of-the-Century Oregon
Amy Absher holds a PhD in history for the University of Washington. She is the author of The Black Musicians and the White City: Race and Music in Chicago, 1900–1967.
