       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.
