Upstairs Girls: Prostitution in the American West por Michael Rutter
Found at country fair event in eastern Oregon. Interesting stories of the old American west antics.
Interesting stories of the women who 'ran' with the Wild Bunch - Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, Kid Curry, and others. The writing is a bit boring at times but the stories are interesting.
Upstairs Girls begins with a history of prostitution in the West. The different classes of prostitution are explained; although prostitutes were looked down upon, there were different classes of them. The book ends with short biographies of 14 prostitutes -- these stories include both the madams who owned or managed the houses of prostitution, and the common prostitutes. The book includes a helpful glossary of terms in addition to a bibliography and index. This book is a popular rather than a scholarly history; although there are quotations, the book lacks footnotes/end-notes, and the works some of the quotations are attributed to do not appear in the bibliography.… (más)
Despite the rather sensational subtitle this, is a fairly sober account of women sex workers in the west, many of then forced into prostitution by their socio-economic circumstances.
