Titles by Jonathan Ned Katz

Eve Adams defied convention. As a Jewish immigrant, she embraced anarchism, ran queer-friendly establishments, and fearlessly wrote about lesbian love. But her activism drew the ire of J. Edgar Hoover and led to her tragic deportation and eventual murder by the Nazis.

Jonathan Ned Katz unveils Adams's extraordinary life, drawing on extensive research to separate fact from fiction. This biography explores themes of identity, persecution, and resistance, and includes the full text of Adams's rare 1925 book, Lesbian Love. Discover:

• The vibrant queer culture of early 20th-century Chicago and New York
• The personal cost of activism in a repressive era
• A powerful story of resilience in the face of hatred

For readers of LGBTQ+ history, biography, and anyone seeking inspiration from a life lived on the edge.
