Chelsea Women: The Remarkable Lives of Rebels and Risk-Takers, the forthcoming book by author and former Chelsea Hotel resident, Amelia Kallman, celebrates the lives, careers, and impact of the unforgettable women who found their home at New York City's most infamous bohemian-punk hotel.

Since the 1880s, the Chelsea has hosted many of the world's most renowned artists, musicians, writers, celebrities, and misfits, forming an eccentric cast of characters and a unique, never-before-told history of feminism, the arts, and resilience in America.

Featuring sixteen trailblazing residents, along with the author’s personal experience as the last woman to live in its iconic penthouse pyramid, this book tells the stories of modern icons like Janis Joplin, Nico, Edie Sedgwick, Nancy Spungen, and Patti Smith. It also highlights other inspiring, lesser-known women who deserve their place in history, including America’s first female journalist, the person credited with igniting the revolutionary Stonewall Riots, a tattooed "witch," the first trans movie star, and more.

In the 21st Century, dusty histories focused almost exclusively on straight white men are no longer acceptable. It's time to reclaim this rich feminine history and for the story of the Chelsea Women to be told.
