About This Item
Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1983. 7th Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 6x0x9. Seventh printing. Near fine. 1983 Trade Paperback. xvii, 245 pp. Written by the historical editor of the highly acclaimed Maimie Papers, The Lost Sisterhood describes both the women who chose prostitution as a acreer and the middle-class reformers who sought to eradicate prostitution from the landscape of urban America. What these women thought, how they felt, and where they fit into a rapidly changing society combine in this richly textured description of a neglected aspect of women's history, one that also illuminates the origins of contemporary attitudes toward both prostitution and women in general.
