Good Time Party Girl: The Notorious Life of Dirty Helen Cromwell

Helen Cromwell once owned the Sunflower Inn on W St. Paul Ave across the street from today's Bachman Furniture and led quite a colorful life!

Join Christina Ward, Vice-President of Feral House Publishing as she shares the wonderfully entertaining life and history of Dirty Helen Cromwell, a local legend in Milwaukee. Dirty Helen was a Madam, mobbed up, had people killed, was Al Capone's girlfriend and had the filthiest mouth anyone had. But how many of these stories are true?

'Good Time Party Girl: The Notorious Life of Dirty Helen Cromwell, 1886-1969' is Dirty Helen's full-tilt autobiography told with ribald wit. Helen throws off the myth that our grannies (and great-grannies) were docile homebodies. Copies of the book are available to purchase for curbside pickup or delivery thanks to Boswell Book Company.
