Sin in the Second City

« back to classes page
Step into twelve weeks of discussion about one of the most famous, luxurious bordellos in the nation, located in the heart of the levee district on Chicago's South Dearborn Street. We will get to know Minna and Ada Everleigh, two sisters who founded this world famous club, which lasted only nine short years, 1900-1909. We will discover that some of Chicago's richest and most powerful men frequented this exclusive brothel. The book we will be using is Karen Abbott's Sin in the Second City: Madams, Ministers, Playboys and the Battle for America's Soul (Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008).
