But when it stood in New York City's Greenwich Village, from 1929 to 1974, it was a nexus for the tens of thousands of individuals who inhabited its crowded cells. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Historian Hugh Ryan reconstructs the little-known lives of these incarcerated New Yorkers, making a uniquely queer case for prison abolition--and demonstrating that by queering the Village, the House of Detention helped define queerness for the rest of America. From the lesbian communities forged through the Women's House of D to the turbulent prison riots that presaged Stonewall, this is the story of one building and much more: the people it caged, the neighborhood it changed, and the resistance it inspired. \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bold Type Books","offers":[{"title":"The Women's House of Detention | Hugh Ryan | Paperback | 9781645036654 | New | Queer Studies 1758625","offer_id":49185437384856,"sku":"1758625","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81_fE5EEQBL.jpg?v=1780326154","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/the-womens-house-of-detention","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
