Charlotte Cushman was a fascinating figure in 19th-century American theatre: in addition to being the first female celebrity actress on the American stage, she was also a trailblazer who embraced her identity as a lesbian and made a name for herself in a male-dominated industry. Tana Wojczuk joins us to talk about Cushman, who's the subject of her new biography, "Lady Romeo: The Radical and Revolutionary Life of Charlotte Cushman, America's First Celebrity."

Episode 92: Lady Romeo: Learning About 19th-Century Actress Charlotte Cushman with Tana Wojczuk

Today we discuss how NOT to store keepsake infant bellybuttons, the ignorance of non-mask-wearing Americans, and the fabulous queer shows Betty, Euphoria, We’re Here, Legendary, and Gentleman Jack.   Our wonderful guest is writer Tana Wojczuk, author of the new book, Lady Romeo: The Radical and Revolutionary Life of Charlotte Cushman, America's First Celebrity. It’s an enthralling biography of 19th-century queer actress Charlotte Cushman, and portrays her radical lifestyle that made headlines across America. We LOVED this book and really enjoyed hearing all about Tana’s extensive research process and dedication to telling Cushman’s story with such love. INTERVIEW BEGINS AT 00:21:56 Episode links: Tana’s website: https://tanawojczuk.comBook events: https://tanawojczuk.com/events/Buy Lady Romeo: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Lady-Romeo/Tana-Wojczuk/9781501199523Tana on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TanaWojczukTana on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twojczuk Qmmunity Updates links: Kenyth: @KenythOfficial / https://li.sten.to/vVOmzZCLynn Casper: @LynnCasper / Homoground website: www.homoground.com / Patreon: www.patreon.com/join/homoground / Lynn's podcast consulting site: www.podcastivist.comFurillostar: https://linktr.ee/Furillostar; @furillostar Music credits: Queer Culture segment music by Jason RiveraInterview song: “Savage” by Megan Thee StallionQmmunity Updates song: “Txt’n Me” by Furillostar *************************************THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO THE QUEER CREATIVE!Check us out on YouTube: https://youtu.be/2-oEx_BGDHoFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thequeercreativepodcastFollow Jonah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/creativequeer
