Women's Secrets: The Double Standard Sporting House with Dr. Nancy Bernhard

Sitting down with me this week is Dr. Nancy Bernhard. She is a historian who recently published her first historical novel The Double Standard Sporting House which explores the women of a high class brothel in Gilded Age New York - and one woman in particular who decides to take on the Tammany Hall criminal syndicate. Join us as we discuss what motivated the story, how women have consistently fought against the limitations of society, and why a work of fiction about the Gilded Age resonates in our current moment. When you are done listening, you can learn more about Nancy and her work by visiting her website at: www.nancybernhard.comSupport the show
