Reviews

[David Grassé]

Excellent, if somewhat brief, study of prostitution in the San Francisco. Well-written and an enjoyable read for a history book. Recommended for anyone with an interest in the subject,

[Jennifer Kincheloe]

Great background about attitudes toward prostitution in the progressive era.

Helpful for research for my book, "The Secret Life of Anna Blanc," an homage to old Los Angeles inspired by Alice Stebin Wells, an LAPD police matron, who in 1910, became the first woman in the Western world to be granted police powers.
