Book Description
In Syndicate Women, sociologist Chris M. Smith uncovers a unique historical puzzle: women composed a substantial part of Chicago organized crime in the early 1900s, but during Prohibition (1920–1933), when criminal opportunities increased and crime was most profitable, women were largely excluded. During the Prohibition era, the markets for organized crime became less territorial and less specialized, and criminal organizations were restructured to require relationships with crime bosses. These processes began with, and reproduced, gender inequality. The book places organized crime within a gender‐based theoretical framework while assessing patterns of relationships that have implications for non‐criminal and more general societal issues around gender. As a work of criminology that draws on both historical methods and contemporary social network analysis, Syndicate Women centers the women who have been erased from analyses of gender and crime and breathes new life into our understanding of the gender gap.

Book Description
Suffering from a troublesome spell of artist’s block, Maggie McCalff decides to move in with her old college roommate and plushie dinosaur lover, Violet Kim. The city is more intimidating than she expected, but Maggie quickly settles in and begins looking for work. But then she feels the familiar wax-covered needles of eyes watching her as she waits for the subway. An elderly man comes to her rescue and, after seemingly recognizing her name, invites her to apply for a position at a housing corporation known as The Lion. A short time later, she is invited to a company meeting that shatters her perception of what she thought were merely fairy tales. Now thrown into the world of Sasvatas, Eagnae, and Hunters, Maggie must find a way to not only survive the mountain of rules that come with a human joining a Syndicate but somehow save her newfound friends from an insidious group known as a portentum. Maggie will need to discover her strength in a world revolving around power—and make a decision that could either save hundreds of lives or subject herself, and those she loves the most, to a gruesome death.

Book Description
This collection focuses on generations of early women historians, seeking to identify the intellectual milieu and professional realities that framed their lives. It moves beyond treating them as simply individuals and looks to the social and intellectual forces that encouraged them to study history and, at the same time, would often limit the reach and define the nature of their study. This collection of essays speaks to female practitioners of history over the past four centuries that published original histories, some within a university setting and some outside. By analysing the values these early women scholars faced, readers can understand the broader social values that led women historians to exist as a unit apart from the career path of their male colleagues.
