The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation Presents: All-Night Party: The Bohemian Women of Greenwich Village and Harlem March 3, 2009

Ancestor of beatniks and hippies, the Bohemian women of Greenwich Village and Harlem defied convention with their lawless idealism and eschewed social conventions by choosing instead to live on their own terms, becoming unconventional poets, scandalous actresses, daring journalists and liberated artists. Join historian Andrea Barnet as she explores the history of these rebellious women in the headlong, hopped-up decades of the 1910s and 1920s. Part one of GVSHP’s Women’s History Month series saluting the rich history of women in Greenwich Village.
