These are the real women of [the musical] Chicago. You
probably know Roxie and Velma, the good-time gals of the
1926 satirical play Chicago and its wildly successful
musical and movie adaptations. You might not know that
Roxie, Velma, and the rest of the colorful characters of
the play were inspired by real prisoners held in
"Murderess Row" in 1920s Chicago -- or that the reporter
who covered their trials for the Chicago Tribune went on
to write the play Chicago. Now, more than 90 years later,
the Chicago Tribune has uncovered photographs and
newspaper clippings telling the story of the four women
who inspired the timeless characters of Chicago. But these
photos tell a different story -- and it's not all about
glamour, fashion, and celebrity. They show a young mother
in jail hugging her two-year-old daughter. They show an
immigrant woman who doesn't speak the language of her
judge, jury, and attorney. And they show women who used
their images to sway public opinion -- and their juries.
He Had It Coming collects recently discovered photos,
original newspaper clippings, and stories from Tribune
reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins as well as new analysis
written by Tribune film critic Michael Phillips, theater
critic Chris Jones, and columnists Heidi Stevens and Rick
Kogan to build a fascinating history of women in crime in
Jazz Age Chicago, a history that takes on new meaning in
today's #MeToo moment." --|cProvided by publisher.
