Astor Place Vintage

Stephanie Lehmann, author of Astor Place Vintage, offers a slice of NYC history at the turn of the 20th century—a fascinating time of transition.

Women still wore corsets and couldn’t vote. But new technologies like electricity and mass-production of textiles led to an expanding middle class with money to spend. Learn how all these elements came together in the rise of the big department stores, when women from both sides of the counter began to experience unprecedented freedom and independence in the city.
