Welcome to Litsy!

It didn't have quite the amount of history I was hoping for, but I still found it to be an interesting read. It gave stories to sex workers who were barely considered human even though a lot of them did a lot of good. Most of the stories were tragic. Some chapters were just heartbreaking. Chapter 8 was a pretty hard read, but there was a hero. Seemed like it covered mostly known women. I would have liked a few more stories of more obscure women.

A solid 3.5 stars. Easily readable and the pictures are worth it. The stories of these girls!!! You can tell the author had a lot of respect for these women. More stories about the girls then historical perspective but still lovely!

Diving in to some fun research! I spent the afternoon sifting though primary documents at the historical society and I‘m looking forward to these this evening. #research #professorsoflitsy #historian

Just finished this great read! Not enough credit is given to the business women who were often the backbone of their towns economy, expected to donate and contribute their funds to the betterment of the town but shunned as outcasts. Also interestingly, these women were often times first to assist in times of need acting as nurses and caring for the ill. The more you know!

Looks as though I've got an exciting evening lined up! #tuesday

The book I chose for #septemberlibrary17 prompt #femalecharacter is this book. It is the one I plan to read next.... @anniekslibrary & @librarylooter
