Yet they soon discover that the greatest obstacle to putting up a show on Broadway has nothing to do with their art, and everything to do with politics. A Red Scare is sweeping across America, and Senator Joseph McCarthy has started a witch hunt for communists, with those in the entertainment industry in the crosshairs. As the pressure builds to name names, it is more than Hazel and Maxine's Broadway dreams that may suffer as they grapple with the terrible consequences, but also their livelihood, their friendship, and even their freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Spanning from the 1940s to the 1960s, \u003ci\u003eThe Chelsea Girls\u003c\/i\u003e deftly pulls back the curtain on the desperate political pressures of McCarthyism, the complicated bonds of female friendship, and the siren call of the uninhibited Chelsea Hotel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFiona Davis\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of several novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Dollhouse\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Address\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Masterpiece\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Chelsea Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lions of Fifth Avenue\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Magnolia Palace\u003c\/i\u003e.
