Book Reviews of The Lost Sisterhood: Prostitution in America, 1900-1918

Book Review: 'The Lost Sisterhood: Prostitution in American, 1900-1918" by R Rosen
Summary: 5 Stars

An even-handed examination of working women's history in America. It provides deep & wide insight into how women got into the business of prostitution, stayed there, died in it, or left it. The book is as current today as it was when first published in 1982, as is the turn-of-the-century business era it examines. An excellent read and is a 'to include' in women's history reference/biblio lists.

Summary of The Lost Sisterhood: Prostitution in America, 1900-1918

"Rosen has broken entirely new ground in what will surely remain the definitive study of urban prostitution in America for many years to come."--'TLS'
