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.
