Tuesday, January 12

2:30 – 3:30 P.M.         Donation: $5

They called her a “girl reporter”. Instead of writing for the society pages, she broke boundaries in her quest for serious news, reporting on scandalous criminal cases. Dr. Emilie Lucchesi transports audiences to Chicago in the early 1920s and examines how Forbes’ ambition combined with the era’s scrupulous journalism ethics allowed her to do serious damage.
