The Daring Life and Dangerous Times of Eve Adams

About this book

A gripping biography of a daring lesbian activist and the republication of her long-suppressed book.

Eve Adams, a Jewish immigrant in early 20th-century America, lived a life of rebellion: befriending anarchists, selling radical publications, and running gay-friendly speakeasies. In 1925, she risked everything to publish Lesbian Love, a book that challenged the era's repressive norms.

Jonathan Ned Katz uncovers Adams's extraordinary story, detailing her activism, the government's surveillance, and her tragic deportation and murder by the Nazis.

  • Discover the hidden history of an early LGBTQ+ pioneer.
  • Explore themes of censorship, persecution, and social justice.
  • Read the original text of Adams's groundbreaking Lesbian Love.
The Daring Life and Dangerous Times of Eve Adams is for readers interested in LGBTQ+ history, biography, and the fight for social justice.
