Info:
Join California Historical Society (CHS), Heyday, and Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) for an in-depth discussion on the history of sex work in the Bay Area and the contemporary issues facing sex workers today. This program serves to launch CHS and Heyday Books 2015 California Historical Society Book Prize Award Winner, Alice: Memoirs of a Barbary Coast Prostitute. A book signing will occur after the discussion portion of the event.
The program will begin with presentations from the editors of Alice: Memoirs of a Barbary Coast Prostitute, Ivy Anderson and Devon Angus and will be followed by presentations from SWOP representatives. It will then transition into a Q&A with all the presenters from 7:05-7:50PM. For this portion of the event, index cards will be distributed to guests to write down their questions. All questions must explicitly state who (of the presenters) the question is intended for. We also ask that any personal stories or opinions beyond the scope of the presentation and discussion be held for one on one time with presenters after the event.
As a special addition, we will have a collection viewing in our North Baker Research Library from 5:45PM to 6:00PM and immediately following the presentations and discussion.
