It's Erin's birthday! For her Birthday Bonus she has brought us a selection of women's stories in media that all take place in New York City in the first few decades of the 20th century, from Funny Girl, to Brooklyn, to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. 

What throughlines do we find in these women's journeys? How does the setting of New York City become an integral part of these stories? What can these media works tell us about the era in which they portray, and what can they tell us about our current time?
