Historian & author Lisa Davis has written two books—UNDERCOVER GIRL and UNDER THE MINK (also available wherever books are sold).

Undercover Girl follows the true story of Angela Calomiris, a lesbian photographer in the Village who was undercover in the Communist Party, secretly working as an informant for the FBI. Under the Mink tells the story of drag kings & queens who worked in the mafia’s Village nightclubs in the 1940s, who Lisa got to know personally.

In tomorrow’s Mattachine Meeting, we’ll talk about how she discovered these stories!
