A DANGER TO THE MINDS OF YOUNG GIRLS Margaret C. Anderson, Book Bans, and the Fight to Modernize Literature

Natalie Naudus brings this biography to life with her outstanding pacing, spot-on voices, and smooth relaying of information. Queer publishing icon Margaret C. Anderson faced an obscenity trial in 1921 after serializing James Joyce's ULYSSES in her cutting-edge literary magazine, "The Little Review." Though this audiobook focuses on Anderson's career in publishing, it also paints a lively portrait of the radical, anarchist, and lesbian literary circles she inhabited in Chicago, New York, and Paris. Naudus voices the various people in Margaret's life with just enough distinction to make their stories come alive. Her clear delivery of events and information is always engaging. This fascinating listen illuminates a piece of little-known but very relevant cultural history. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
