Su Kim Chung, head of the Special Collections at the UNLV library joins us again to chat about the matriarchs in the Showgirl’s life, Madame Bluebell and Fluff LeCoque. We discuss generational differences for women in society regarding money, property and work. We also discussed some books for the more academic approach to the history of women. More topics around how these two women impacted so many women in their lives include nurturing their community, mentorship and female relationships.

Check out the show notes here with links to some of the UNLV archives referenced in the interview. Let’s keep the conversation going! Join the conversation and share what your favorite moment in this episode was. I look forward to connecting with you! 😍
