sophie tucker at Reisenweber’s

March is Women’s History Month. NY1920s always centers women’s history; this month we’ll do so a bit more emphatically.

One hundred years ago today … Sophie Tucker, who would later be christened “last of the red-hot mamas,” was in the midst of a month-long engagement at Reisenwebers, at Columbus Circle (corner of 58th Street and Eighth Avenue).
