Crossing centuries and social mores, editors Ivy Anderson and Devon Angus, (Alice: Memoirs of a Barbary Coast Prostitute) and author Clare Sears (Arresting Dress) take us into San Francisco’s mid-1800s underworld to look at how normative ideas of sexuality were policed and created by
widespread mid-1800s laws as well as challenged by gender defiers.
