Why read it?

1 author picked The Lost Sisterhood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Like Anne Butler, Ms. Rosen used credible sources to explain the “whys and hows” of frontier prostitution, prostitutes’ roles in society, and the culture that kept them in their place. Her book includes government studies conducted with the women themselves regarding their careers. Statistics on the ladies’ health and social diseases are included here too.

From Jan's list on historical prostitution.
