The underworld sewer : a prostitute reflects on life in the trade, 1871-1909

For twenty years the author lived and worked in houses of prostitution. She spent the last twelve as the madam of a moderately fancy brothel in Lincoln, Nebraska. After retiring in 1907 and moving to Omaha, she turned to "throwing a searchlight on the underworld," including the "cribs" of Nebraska's largest city. Thia title tells her experience.
