Every month, Theater of the Apes plucks a long forgotten volume from the shelves of the New York Society Library to resurrect as a 1-night-only NYC variety show.

Up next: Women as World Builders: Studies in Modern Feminism by Floyd Dell (1913)

From the book:
It will not do to pluck freedom like a flower and give it to the lady with a polite bow. She must fight for it. – Floyd Dell, 1913
