But when it stood in New York City's Greenwich Village, from 1929 to 1974, it was a nexus for the tens of thousands of women, transgender men, and gender-nonconforming people who inhabited its crowded cells. Some of these inmates--Angela Davis, Andrea Dworkin, Afeni Shakur--were famous, but the vast majority were incarcerated for the crimes of being poor and improperly feminine. Today, approximately 40 percent of the people in women's prisons identify as queer; in earlier decades, that percentage was almost certainly higher Historian Hugh Ryan explores the roots of this crisis and reconstructs the little-known lives of incarcerated New Yorkers, making a uniquely queer case for prison abolition--and demonstrating that by queering the Village, the House of D helped defined queerness for the rest of America. From the lesbian communities forged through the Women's House of Detention to the turbulent prison riots that presaged Stonewall, this is the story of one building and much more: the people it caged, the neighborhood it changed, and the resistance it inspired"-- $c Provided by publisher. 586 $a Stonewall Book Award 500 $a "Stonewall Book Award, American Library Association"--Cover. 500 $a Previously published: 2022. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-357) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: Jay Toole marks the land -- The prehistory of the Women's House of Detention (1796-1928) -- Psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers : the prison's eyes, ears, and record keepers -- Where the girls are : Greenwich Village & lesbian life -- Rosie the Riveter gets fired -- The long tail of the Drug War -- Flickers of pride -- Conformity and resistance -- The gay crowds -- Queer women get organized -- The city's search for the perfect victim -- Gay lib and Black power. 610 20 $a Women's House of Detention. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Reformatories for women $z New York $z New York $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women prisoners $z New York $z New York $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Transgender prisoners $z New York $z New York $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Poor women $z New York $z New York $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Prison abolition movements $z New York $z New York $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Poor women $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071247 650 7 $a Prison abolition movements $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02024110 650 7 $a Reformatories for women $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092592 650 7 $a Women prisoners $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178418 651 0 $a Greenwich Village (New York, N.Y.) 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39QbtfRvQh7864Jh4rDGBFDWc $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 $a New York (State) $z Greenwich Village $z Greenwich Village $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39QbtfRkRKcckYMRR3bcvwKqp $0 (OCoLC)fst01322891 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024650.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A03C1C4EFC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
