After 20+ years of collaboration, we are delighted to announce the launch of Leigh Buchanan Bienen: Works, for one of Chicago's best-kept secrets, Leigh Buchanan Bienen—on par with Vivian Maier or Florence Kelley (who Leigh has, almost single-handedly, brought into the light of day via her website and book, "Florence Kelley, 1890s Factory Inspector, and the Children). Leigh is a writer, advocate, and teacher whose areas of expertise include capital punishment, sex crimes, and legal reform. Of luminous mind, unstoppable energy and passionate conviction, Leigh has tirelessly advocated for the rights of women, children and the wrongfully convicted (in 2011 she was instrumental in the effort that led to the repeal, in Illinois, of the death penalty). The website collects 50+ years of work. Please visit!
