About this listen

Before they became the queens of Chicago’s most elite parlor house, the Everleigh Sisters had to scheme, strategize, and, perhaps, spin a little tale or two. In Part 1 of this deep dive, we follow Ada and Minna from their humble (and possibly fictional) beginnings to the moment they set their sights on transforming the world’s oldest profession into an art form. Glamour, grit, and a $50 cover charge—welcome to the Everleigh Club.
