Waterstones Says

Perfect for fans of Square Haunting, Scutt’s illuminating, deeply researched group biography delves into the fascinating members of a 1912 secret society in New York’s Greenwich Village that consisted of likeminded advocates of women's suffrage, equal marriage and free love.

The dazzling story of the early feminists who blazed a trail for the movement's most radical ideas.

New York City, 1912: in downtown Greenwich Village, a group of women gathered, all with a plan to change the world.

This was the first meeting of 'Heterodoxy', a secret social club. Its members were passionate advocates of women's suffrage, labour rights, equal marriage and free love. They were socialites and socialists; reformers and revolutionaries; artists, writers and scientists. Hotbed is the never-before-told story of the club whose audacious ideas and unruly acts transformed an international feminist agenda into a modern way of life.
