They Don't Care a Straw What I Do

She's back!! Katja Labonté, the original co-host of The Gibson Girl Review, returns as a guest reviewer for this all-new episode, as she and Amy crack open the cover on Henry James' scandalous 1878 novella, Daisy Miller. But is this story as shocking for us today as it supposedly was during the Gilded Age? And how does this story relate to Amy and Katja's very first episode of the podcast?

And speaking of scandals, Amy introduces us in the history segment to Evelyn Nesbit, the most notorious of all the real-life Gibson Girl models, whose story is a surprisingly close parallel to that of our featured book's heroine.
