Bad (Lady) Barber Town (Re-release)


Listen Later

In this week’s episode we discuss the case of Lorena Upper, a so-called "lady barber" accused of violating the “red light statute” here in Bellingham, Washington in 1922 and what it meant to work as a woman in a traditionally male occupation at the time.

This episode is a re-release from the 2020 season of “Bad Town” on the City of Subdued Podcast, hosted by Annika Fleming, Maria Dalla Gasparina and yours truly along with Good Time Girls founder Marissa McGrath.

We have updates on this episode at the end!
