Windy City Historians PodcastEpisode 16 - The Second Star - the FireThere is one story well-known throughout the world about the Windy City and a cow kicking over a lantern that set the Great Chicago Fire in motion. The fact that the story of Catherine O'Leary's cow is totally false seems not to matter, as this wrong-headed legend continues to perpetuate itself with the general public. As the newspaper editor Dutton Peabody says in the 1952 film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, “when the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” And so it is, a hundred and fifty years later, Mrs. O’Leary and her cow live on in popular culture.

Así pues, la pasividad que caracteriza esencialmente a la mujer “femenina” es un rasgo que se desarrolla en ella desde los primeros años. Pero es falso pretender que se trata de una circunstancia biológica; en realidad, se trata de un destino que le ha sido impuesto por sus educadores y por la sociedad”.

Book FightEp 260-Winter of Wayback, 1991 (Nelson Algren winners)This week, as we continue our adventure through the 90s, we're discussing both the winner and runner-up stories from 1991's Nelson Algren Prize, sponsored by the Chicago Tribune. Tom Barbash won for his story, "Howling at the Moon," and Patricia Stevens came in second for her story, "Leaving Fort Ord." Barbash would go on to publish a few books, while Stevens seems to have mostly left fiction behind.

Like someone coming out o...
